Set CONF['encrypt'] = 'dovecot:whatever' (where "whatever" is the 
encryption method as named in dovecot)

Let me warn you that salted dovecot:* password encryption is a one-way 
road. You can use it to create password hashes, but you won't be able to 
login to PostfixAdmin with it because "doveadm pw" doesn't allow to 
specify the hash, so PostfixAdmin can't use it to verify the password.

Needless to say: sha512-crypt seems to be salted (doveadm pw gives me 
different hashes when feeding it with the same password multiple times), 
so you won't be able to login in PostfixAdmin.
