Interesting, I'm still on an older Fedora release, but I used the
original Fedora spec file, which I adjusted a bit (so that it uses my
own openssl version instead of the system's, and a few other minor
tweaks), and created my own dovecot 2.3.1 package.

In any case, the changes I described fixed it for me.

I don't think the Fedora packager even knows about the PAM configuration
issue, otherwise he would have written a patch, but there's nothing in
git master of the dovecot package repo.

I've opend a bug with Fedora:
