I think that what was confusing, at least for me, is that the "doveadm-pw"
man page says:

-l     List all supported password schemes and exit successfully.
       There are up to three optional password schemes: BLF-CRYPT
       Blowfish crypt), SHA256-CRYPT and SHA512-CRYPT.  Their
       availability depends on the system's currently used libc.

I had assumed, obviously incorrectly, that I had to enter the scheme into the
dovecot conf file as indicated earlier.

Perhaps, for people like me that are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, a
notation to that affect might prove useful.

Just my 2 ￠.
