In 10-auth.conf, I have "disable_plaintext_auth = yes"
For port 143, I'd like to do something like this to override that setting:

Are you sure you want to allow insecure plain text easily intercepted trivially hacked connections to your mail server?
Based on https://wiki.dovecot.org/LoginProcess and https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/service_configuration/ it doesn't seem like this is supported. But maybe there is another way to accomplish this?
You are specifically turning off plaintext auth, the is going to do what it says on the tin.
BTW, there is no reasons to turn off plain text auth if you are using SSL as you should be.
