How can I disable passdb { driver = pam }

I have postfix and dovecot set up to only use virtual users.
I'd rather do all the configuration in local.conf if possible.

# 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

 mailbox Trash {
   auto = subscribe
   special_use = \Trash
 }
 prefix =
}
passdb {
 args = scheme=cram-md5 /etc/dovecot/passwd
 driver = passwd-file
}
plugin {
 sieve = /vmail/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve
 sieve_dir = /vmail/%d/%n/sieve
 sieve_global_path = /vmail/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve
}

I don't see any passdb { pam } there.
Did you reloaded Dovecot?

No, because I have commented out "passdb {driver = pam} " in the file 
"/etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext"
What I want is to avoid having to make changes to dovecot original 
files, just have all the self-configuration in local.config.
I have no real users only virtual users, I do not need to check users 
against pam.
