It seems like this is a limitation in the IMAP protocol. From RFC 3501:
I remember reading something about using UTF-8 and stringprep in authentication strings, probably some SASL spec or something. Dovecot should implement it some day.. But that won't help in any way if the client doesn't send the password as UTF-8.
There has recently been a discussion about this on the imap-protocol mailing list:

(they talk about LOGIN as well)
