After some further experimenting and checking the logs I managed to
discover the problem.
Setting the default_pass_scheme in /etc/dovecot/sql.conf fixed the problem

Apparently the password scheme used by PostfixAdmin is the MD5-CRYPT
type, but I suspect there could be still some issues with password
comparision generation in some of its other modules

/etc/dovecot/sql.conf
=====================
default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT
