Here is what is in phpmyadmin: password_query = SELECT username as user, SELECT IF( cryptpwd IS NULL OR cryptpwd = '', CONCAT('{PLAIN}', clearpwd), cryptpwd ) as password, '/var/vmail/%d/%n' as userdb_home, 'maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n' as userdb_mail, 150 as userdb_uid, 8 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'
and the error now: #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'password_query = SELECT username as user, SELECT IF( cryptpwd IS NULL ' at line 1

For testing purposes I put the query in PHPMyAdmin and it complains this (notice it drops "PASSWORD", but shows it in the query: #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near '\

It also sarts with a \ ... did you leave that in? That is specific to the dovecot config file. In PHPMyAdmin you should remove the line-continuation backslashes.
Actually if you use the mysql command-line client, you would be able to paste that in with the backlashes.
Make sure to put in a real value in WHERE username = '%u' <<<
