Whenever I run it, I get the message that 3 (sometimes, is 4) entries are removed, but user information isn't really reloaded and I doubt it is really removed from cache (I have the user in a passwd-file and information used by imap processes is still the old one, no the new one, changed before the flush)

Yes.

What is your doveconf -n output and the dovecot-ldap.conf contents? Is <myuser> with or without @domain? Also try this:

doveadm auth cache flush foo # make sure it isn't there
doveadm user foo
doveadm auth cache flush foo

Does the second flush return 1 or 0 entries? If 0, then there's a problem. If 1, then it really should have worked.

You could try also if disabling userdb prefetch makes any difference. And if you still have multiple userdb try with only one.
