I have dovecot setup and authenticating away for local users, but when I try to add MySQL users from postfix admin, not only does that fail, but all authentication fails.

and I get the following errors for *ALL* attempts to connect, not just sql ones: <snip> mail dovecot: auth: Fatal: mysql: Missing value in connect string: password-dovecot mail dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs <snip>
The dovecot-sql.conf.ext file is: $ cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=dovecot password-dovecot
I see a typo there, and the error message is referring to it. Maybe try password=dovecot?
The reason that all authentications fail (also the non sql ones), is because the auth process (that handles all authentications) dies because of the typo.
