So, am I getting this right, it should read:

  passdb passwd-file {
    args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot.masterusers
    master = yes
    pass = yes
  }
  passdb shadow {
  }
  
  # NEW
  passdb passwd-file {
     # Format should look like this:
     # firstname.lastname:password:uid:gid:(gecos):home:(shell):user=realloginname
     # firstname.lastname at charite.de:password:uid:gid:(gecos):home:(shell):user=realloginname
     args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot.login_via_email
  }
  # END NEW
  
  userdb passwd {
  }
