OK, so I went this root, added the new file, stopped dovecot, did the daemon-reload, then started it up again. It did not work for me. As I continued to read the other emails in this thread, I came to the conclusion that the Fedora configuration, as packaged by City-Fan.org http://City-Fan.org is what is broken. Luckily for me, there was still a 2.2.35 version of dovecot in the repository, so I ended up doing the "dnf downgrade dovecot" and now I can read my emails again. I'm assuming that the packager for Fedora will ensure that this gets fixed in the current releases. I checked, and F26
Interesting, I'm still on an older Fedora release, but I used the original Fedora spec file, which I adjusted a bit (so that it uses my own openssl version instead of the system's, and a few other minor tweaks), and created my own dovecot 2.3.1 package.
In any case, the changes I described fixed it for me.
I don't think the Fedora packager even knows about the PAM configuration issue, otherwise he would have written a patch, but there's nothing in git master of the dovecot package repo.
I've opend a bug with Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1564348
