Just to confirm, your <user> specified in the passdb corresponds to what

or configure "username_format=%n"
Yes, I believe so:

$ sudo cat /var/mail/foo.com/users
# Generate passwords with:
#   doveadm pw -s PLAIN -p <password>

# Real users
t...@foo.com:{PLAIN}some-password
j...@foo.com:{PLAIN}some-password

OK, I guess the next step is to see whether the dovecot auth process
is able to read the passdb file.  Does your dovecot auth process have
enough authorization to get/read to these files (check what dovecot/auth
runs as versus the file permissions of your passdb)?  "doveadm user
j...@foo.com" checks the userdb, and if it coincides with your passdb,
might point out a problem.

Tracing the auth process might also help.
