Its really simple - since you are using a SQL backend for your passdb.
Didn't you?

Create your table* like:

       user       | password | etc ... | smtp | pop3 | imap | sieve
------------------+----------+---------+------+------+------+-------
 user at example.com | XXX      |         | t    | t    | t    | t


And a password_query like:

SELECT user, password FROM tbl WHERE user = %s and %s

* = the columns smtp, pop3, imap and sieve have the type boolean.
    Rename sieve to managesieve if you are using Dovecot < 1.2.beta2
