Please raise the logging level of the auth section in 10-logging.conf
(auth_verbose=yes, auth_verbose_passwords=yes, auth_debug=yes,
auth_debug_passwords=yes) and reload Dovecot.

Then test login using fetchmail:
# fetchmail --check --nodetach --protocol IMAP  --all --keep --username
<email at adress> <IP>

And send the relevant log from the IMAP server (probably
/var/log/syslog), not the log of the webserver.

Greetings
Daniel
