I use sha with my qmail-ldap, dovecot install. works fine for me with 
auth_imap, and auth_smtp. How did you convert your passwords from md5 to 
sha? Maybe there in lies your problem. Did you try using

/usr/sbin/slappasswd -h '{SHA}' -s testpassword

to generate a sha password and then set your ldap account and verify 
that it is in fact the password.
