I appreciated the help I received here. To try to give back a little, I contributed something I learned to the wiki:
Passwd as a password databasePasswd as a password database on FreeBSD
Thanks again,

 Hi, everyone,
Got through for the first time! In fact the trick was to switch to:
passdb {
  driver = passwd-file
  args = path-to-file-with-encrypted-passwords
}
 Thanks for steering me in the right direction. Next I guess is SSL for more security.

Do I need to tell dovecot to check master.passwd instead of passwd?
2. Is my (simple) passdb OK?
passdb {
  args = blocking=no
  driver = passwd
}
