You must escape shell's meta characters, e.g., "{", "}", "$" and so on.

# doveadm pw -t '{SHA512-CRYPT}$6$aUgGXP0UshkMj7hY$9JV4yMRsjIe/98CzmglYrMjf.9NJ.FXzxcLE9B0v3doCRUWo2wRncc6hg6VCs0DCUHQbeC/bRDZdGCge/nB/h/' -p password
{SHA512-CRYPT}$6$aUgGXP0UshkMj7hY$9JV4yMRsjIe/98CzmglYrMjf.9NJ.FXzxcLE9B0v3doCRUWo2wRncc6hg6VCs0DCUHQbeC/bRDZdGCge/nB/h/ (verified)
