I continuously get user authentication errors. I suspect that the problem is with a password hashing. I used

Looks OK.
I have this at the database:
sqlite> SELECT * from users; lev|logonex.eu|$6$1cCNWIMCTpuqmexO$cCq7nDEga1xza3967nZ.BFZaGWNoYwjnNfSCvZE/jGzYAY1hLWE1iHR1KYaO.mvVE4WVdDSrvPNtfwAUn/yk3/|/home/lev|1001|1001
I'm not too hip about SQLite and schemas so I don't know about all the other fields you have and whether you're parsing it correctly. Need doveconf -n to see your SQL query.
I've tried adding this to the database, but still no luck. :-( {SHA512-CRYPT}$6$kbUEfz/Mcgpctv/s$uNQGOL/2F01Br.vx0twozVi6v.KJAHZV0OQ7yOFwD9YCloh7UJmeFe7WrgUez9Q5xXdrNOU5q9H8fE3FU2ok9.
How does it relate to the previous hash? Same password but another salt and prepended with {SHA512-CRYPT}?
The other thing I want to avoid is the home directory and UID and GID. Is there any way for dovecot to use logical, non UNIX users so there's no need to have a user database and an sqlite database?
Yes, you want a virtual user setup.
https://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsersYou still need a user/password database of some sort unless you're contemtemplating some wild free-for-all access with a single shared password.
