well, just remove all that and keep:

passdb pam {
}

You can't tell PAM to use /etc/passwd, you can only tell it to use a
specific file in /etc/pam.d/ directory. By default Dovecot uses
"dovecot" service, so you'll need to have /etc/pam.d/dovecot file as
well working.

http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/Authentication has more explanations
and an example for how to use PAM.
