Username should uniquely identify the user's mailbox. Since the mails
for john@ and john.smith@ are being delivered to the same directory, I
guess you already have some kind of a mapping telling this to Dovecot..

Basically you just need to standardize the username to either one of
them and have password_query and user_query return "user" field for that
username.
