Use something like this (I use FreeBSD, hence master.passwd):

  passdb pam {
       args = *
             }
  userdb passwd {
       args = /etc/master.passwd
             }
  passdb sql {
        args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf
             }
  userdb sql {
        args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf
             }

If the 1st option fails, Dovecot tries the alternative, IIRC.

As Dame Fortune did intend,
Murphy would be there to tell me
The pot's at the other end.
