This looks like either pam isn't configured properly or you're sending
the wrong password.

have you checked /etc/pam.d/dovecot to make sure it's configured
properly?  if /etc/pam.d/dovecot doesn't exist, but /etc/pam.d/imap and
/etc/pam.d/pop3 do exist then consult the documentation for configuring
dovecot to use service specific pam modules.
