I am not using system passwords, I want to use CRAM-MD5, which
cannot work with /etc/shadow anyway.

You could directly use saslauthd
# plain_saslauthd_server:
# driver = plaintext
# public_name = PLAIN
# server_condition = ${if saslauthd{{$2}{$3}}{1}{0}}
# server_set_id = $2
# server_prompts = :
# server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{}{*}}

or let it be invoked from SASL

Another possibility would be to use pam_exim.
