The password management is done by Thunderbird and the Webmail add-ons do not save any passwords.
Have you taken a close look at the saved passwords in the Thunderbird Security options to see what if anything is saved in there for your Hotmail account? I am using TB 1.3.9 (US English) and the same Webmail add-on versions as you for the main and Hotmail add-ons. I just went into Thunderbird and deleted the password for my Hotmail account. I restarted Thunderbird and I was prompted for the password. I entered it and checked the box to have it remembered. I then restarted Thunderbird - no prompt for my Hotmail password and when I checked the remembered passwords in Thunderbird the Hotmail account was recorded properly. Sorry that I cannot duplicate the problem but I would suggest a check of saved passwords and possible a removal of anything related to your Hotmail account to hopefully get it recorded correctly again.
