The best place for this question is the Dovecot mailing list.
That said, as a hint you should look at:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Pw
While at that page, if go to the part about '-u user' it clearly reads:
'When the DIGEST-MD5 scheme is used, also the user name must be
given, because the user name is a part of the generated hash.'
Where in 'printf "12345" | md5sum', is that (required) user name?
