Where in the docs is the statement, that any '{MD5}' shall be needed in 
passwords?!

authpasswd generates password hashes like that:
$1$xyfrJ$Va5vP1uy9rtqs2xTx5yOW.

I cannot follow your problem in any way.

Maybe you're just missing that there are many different representations for 
MD5-Passwords and many ways to add and display a salted password.

MD5 from one app is not necessarily the MD5 of another app.

Courier uses a compatible salted MD5 representation to PAM (shadow).
