The example you referenced is for PLAIN authentication. In the normal PLAIN
authenticator, $auth2 is the username and $auth3 is the password. For LOGIN
authentication, $auth1 is the username and $auth2 is the password. Does your
bug imply that using dovecot changes those somehow?

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I think a better fix would be to do one
of the following:
1) Add a comment line saying that for PLAIN auth, $auth2 is the username.
2) Add the LOGIN authenticator as well to show that they are different.

Please adjust my understanding if need be.
