Perhaps you should be using PAM or shadow for the passdb?

BTW with this information archived on Google, I hope you changed your password!

Apr 8 10:59:09 host dovecot: auth(default): passwd(richard@richard-brouwer.com,192.168.0.104): unknown user

Did you try using just "richard" as the username, or adding "richard-brouwer.com" as an auth realm?
