Right - we're getting there then..! :)

the log says the following

Aug 25 10:09:12 mta dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.10 starting up Aug 25 10:09:13 mta dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to 127.0.0.1 (postfix) Aug 25 10:11:33 mta dovecot: auth-worker(default): plain_md5_verify(sal@prt.com): Invalid password encoding

Easily fixed. (You are using MD5 for your passphrases, right?)

in dovecot-sql.conf default_pass_scheme = MD5

/etc/init.d/dovecot restart

That should work.
