Not at all, I appreciate the response!

Because this is only a small installation and it could very quickly get
out of hand, I ended up deciding that the simplest solution is just to
maintain two password DBs - the Dovecot one and the Exim one. So I
switched to the plaintext authenticator only.
I think the multi-port solution and especially the SASL one would
probably work quite well if the userbase was larger, but since the
passwords won't change very often in my case, maintaining two files is
probably the easiest solution.
