auth process is hanging or imap-login is connecting to wrong server. First try deleting everything from Dovecot's base_dir (/var/run/dovecot/ or something). If that doesn't help, show your doveconf -n output. Also once started, show "ps aux|grep dovecot" output and "strace -tt -p `pidof auth`" output for a few seconds.
