What exactly is "all"? Do you mean just dovecot-auth processes, or do you really mean everything, including imap-login, dovecot-auth, imap, pop3, ..?
If it's only dovecot-auth processes, it's probably a PAM issue. If it's more than dovecot-auth, is everything still anyway working?
It just happened again:
root 2904 1 0 14:32 ? 00:00:00 /local/bin/dovecot root 2907 2904 0 14:32 ? 00:00:00 dovecot-auth root 2919 2904 0 14:32 ? 00:00:00 dovecot-auth -w dovecot 7026 2904 0 15:02 ? 00:00:00 [imap-login <defunct>] [and many other imap-login processes, all defunct]
OK, so only imap-login processes are defunct.
If I telnet to "imap", a connection is established but there is no greeting.
But it anyway says "connected to localhost" and only after that hangs?
What does it say if you strace dovecot process?
