Hello Chris,
Did you find a solutions for this problem?
I also have to migrate some users to Office365 and was looking at
exactly the same problem.
I don't have that many users, and it is totally possible to ask all
users to enter their password in the migration tool, but it would be a
lot easier if we could do the migration without this.

We have two servers (dovecot --version: 2.2.22 (fe789d2)) that handle
email for two different departments.
We are transitioning mail service to the University central IT. They
need to move accounts in an automated fashion and therefore need a
master password to our dovecot servers. However, we are running with
LDAP authentication, and I understand that a master password is not
possible in that configuration.
Would it be possible to run an alternate dovecot process that would
use local account authentication, have a master password, and use an
alternate port for connecting? Ideally it would only read accounts
without changing anything, and would not interfere with the operation
of the other dovecot process. I'm hoping that I could copy the
configuration files, make these changes, and then launch it manually
without any startup scripts in /etc/inetd.conf.
Oh, by the way, we are running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and have contracts
with Ubuntu Advantage for ongoing patch support. The dovecot version
is from the distribution, installed with aptitude.
