There's MySQL patch for Dovecot somewhere in this list's archives. It
will be included in next release.

Dovecot will ask two queries from SQL server. First is "select
password", second is for asking all kind of user information. I think
you should be able to use ';' separator there to separate the actual
query and your post-login-query. Something like:

user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE userid = '%u';update table set foo = 'bar' where userid = '%u'

If it doesn't work, I guess adding support for post-login-query would be useful.
