If you're authenticating from passwd-file, you probably should remove
passdb pam from the config file?

I'm guessing you've configured it like:

passdb passwd-file {
  args = /mail/%d/etc/passwd
}

In which case Dovecot expects the users to be in the passwd file without
their domains. Use %.0d (or was it %0.d) instead of %d and it should
work.
