Even though these people don't read logs, they probably restart Dovecot manually at some point (if they don't give up immediately). Dovecot could track if all auth attempts in its existence have failed (e.g. /var/lib/dovecot/auth-fails exists) and if so, when starting up it'd write something like:
If you have trouble with authentication failures, enable auth_debug_passwords setting. http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork
