We have a server running dovecot and proxying IMAPS connections to
our internal network. This worked so far very good until we upgraded
the server to a new SUSE Linux version and with it dovecot from
version 1.0.3 to 1.1.7.

My guess is that something changed in the way dovecot reads the user
file as the configuration stayed the same: .. testuser1:::::::host=<internalip> port=143 nodelay=y nologin=y proxy=y .. dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:39 Info: auth(default): passwd- file(testuser1,217.91.33.32): Password mismatch

Yes, nowadays you need to add nopassword=y also. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.1 also mentions other things that could affect you.
