I'm guessing you are using a centos package. This may be package version
specific.
Here is RHEL6's dovecot 2.0.9 default except for setting auth_verbose = yes.
Sep 28 21:12:10 compiler dovecot: auth: pam(test,::1): unknown user
Sep 28 21:12:24 compiler dovecot: auth: pam(validuser,::1):
pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication failure (password mismatch?)
2.1.9/2.1.10 which I packaged shows similar.
Since I connected localhost, the IP is IPv6, of course.
