I too use dovecot for imap and simply configure dovecot to auth against 
the ldap server. I do not use the patch you listed, I use stock 
qmail-1.0.3 with qmail-ldap-1.03-20060201.patch. I use a similar method 
to Felipe, configuring dovecot to auth directly against LDAP and 
configuring qmail to use auth_smtp. If you can login using qmail, then 
there's no reason you shouldn't be able to log in with dovecot, it may 
just be a case of making sure you have the correct password scheme 
configured for dovecot.

## dovecot.conf
protocols = imap imaps
syslog_facility = mail
ssl_cert_file = /etc/httpd/conf/certs/mail.crt
ssl_key_file = /etc/httpd/conf/keys/mail.key
mail_location = maildir:%h
namespace private {
   prefix = INBOX.
   inbox = yes
}
mail_debug = yes
maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes
protocol imap {
}
protocol pop3 {
}
protocol lda {
   postmaster_address = [email protected]
}
auth_verbose = yes
auth default {
   mechanisms = plain
   passdb ldap {
     args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
   }
   userdb ldap {
     args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
   }
}
dict {
}
plugin {
}
