Who are you hiding them from? Anyone with access to the Asterisk server
can already do far more damage than extracting these passwords.

You may (like we do) want to store config files in a version control system
in a common repository.  People who have access to that repository don't
necessary have access to the Asterisk server.

Then either the passwords are in the config files (and version controlled), or they are not (and not version controlled). There is no other practical alternative... because any method of obscuring the password can be un-done by a motivated person. The only question is their level of motivation :-)
