I'm not sure if this is what you mean by saving passwords "through dovecot".
But here's how to save a clear-text password when the passdb scheme is not
plaintext.
Use the {PLAIN} prefix. Example:
10-auth.conf:
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = scheme=cram-md5 username_format=%n /path/passdb
}
/path/passdb:
username:{PLAIN}secret
User "username" can log in with password "secret"
