I find the message very confusing. It says to do all settings inside auth {} and
then to remove the auth {} section. With v1.0.5 I do have an auth default {} section
and a section ## Authentication processes.

Thank you! I found section ## Authentication processes but when I add

auth_passdb {
    args = /etc/dovecot/passwd
      driver = passwd-file
    }
auth_userdb {
    args = /etc/dovecot/passwd
      driver = passwd-file
    }

I get an error:
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 709: Unknown setting: auth_passdb

Where do I put the passdb and userdb sections?
