As I said, the logs are the key. Seeing the dovecot log "dovecot-auth:
Unknown passdb type 'mysql'" raised my doubts and a check of the FC2
dovecot updates package SRPMs spec file shows:

%build
%configure --with-ssl=openssl --with-ssldir=/usr/share/ssl --with-ldap

So it has LDAP support but no SQL support (neither MySQL nor
PostgreSQL). If you feel you need that auth backend type you'll have to
compile dovecot yourself. Maybe add a bugzilla RFE for future FC
versions of dovecot.
