The correct way to handle this IMAP-wise would be to return the EXPIRED response code (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5530#section-3). But this requires client support to report to the end user. (And also requires that Dovecot would be able to determine from authentication source that the credentials are expired, as opposed to incorrect.)
