This means that the dn you gave doesn't have read permission to the
userPassword field in LDAP, so it's not returned. This is the default so
you'll need to play with the LDAP server's permissions.

Alternative is to use auth binds, which is probably what you want to do
anyway instead. Except you seem to be using Dovecot 0.99.x which doesn't
support this feature. I'd suggest upgrading to 1.0betas in any case.
