Why does it need to load all the plugins? Why not only try to load
those who are enabled?

Link statically? Or only link in the .o files that has the needed symbols?

I'm not familiar with the code, but how about adding an char*
adm_module to the module struct, and then instead of trying to dlopen
all in doveadm dir, loop through all the already loaded modules and
dlopen(loaded_module->adm_module)?
