SOLVED: Should anyone else run into this and debugging shows no issues, just random dovecot logins fails - there was a bad username stored. "pwck" showed it up. Only cost me 3 days

Why it this bouncing 25% + of IMAP AUTH LOGINs?
PAM said that login wasn't allowed. PAM can have all kinds of plugins that can do all kinds of things. Maybe you have enabled some PAM plugin that denies the user's access even if the password is correct. Unfortunately there's no way to enable debugging for PAM. Try simplifying your PAM setup, or if you can't figure out anything else switch to passdb shadow.
