Check your /etc/dovecot.conf  for the user and pass database defaults.  
Dovecot ships defaulting to postgres:
...
auth_userdb = pgsql /usr/local/etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf
auth_passdb = pgsql /usr/local/etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf
...

If  you dont want it using a database try something else.  Shadow 
passwords are fine for me as Im not on the net:
...
auth_userdb = passwd
auth_passdb = shadow

and restart the server.
