Sounds more like SASL than Dovecot.
I had my Dovecot authenticate against DB in UTF8 encoding, and it can
handle Chinese character for password.
Can your smtp authentication allows special character?

Problem : I have a problem with special character in the password.

My configuration :
- a smtp server with Postfix 2.6 and Dovcot 1.1.11.
- a windows 2003 server with active directory for accounts and boxes
I use SMTP / SASL on my postfix 2.6 to authenticate my remote
laptop users (allow legitimate users to relay mail).
To do that, I use SASL Dovecot fonctionnality and ldap request to
verify login/password who are declared on a server in Windows 2003
(Active Directory).
It works fine with simple password but not with complex password. I
have a problem with special character in the password. Character
like ! * é are deleted before comparaison.
Any idea ?
