Depends on what you which "standard" you mean but I'll just assume you're using PAM, as suggested by your config.
auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm rpa apop anonymous
Looks like you did a kitchen sink configuration in hopes something will work, but it's probably interfering. Just "plain" and "login" is fine.
passdb { driver = pam }
I don't use PAM, but it looks like you may be a few parameters short. Did you install pam/dovecot config?

this is driving me mad. I still can't login.
I started with a fresh doveconfig directory and implemented the sufǵgestions in the above Document.
Now doveconfig -n gives me:
