Note that the user's password is visible in the above resp text if you
base64 decode it. Might want to change it. :)

Maybe look at PAM logs to see if they say anything? Unfortunately PAM's
logging is pretty horrible and there's nothing Dovecot can do about it.
See what modules /etc/pam.d/dovecot has enabled and maybe one of them
prevents access? Although the most typical reason for auth failure is
simply that the user typed the password wrong..
