I have an ldap configuration but i have done the same as you.
In dovecot.conf:
auth_master_user_separator=*
passdb passwd-file {
args = /usr/local/etc/passwd.masterusers
master= yes
}
I have used this to generate passwd.masterusers file:
htpasswd -b -c -s /usr/local/etc/passwd.masterusers user password
The passwd.masterusers :
admin:{SHA}gfdokoir9ewerre
Then i authenticate using:
user*admin
password of the administration.
