It's looking up info at aesoft-sbcs.com from the file.

But you have only info there. So either change it here, or:

 From http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile:

username_format=<s>: Look up usernames using this format instead of  
the full username (%u). If you want to enable user at domain logins but  
have only "user" in the file, set this to %n.

So use:

passdb passwd-file {
   args = username_format=%n /var/mail/vhosts/%d/passwd
}
