I am using sasl with the pam_ldap patch. Using my own mailbox objectclass
enables me to create imap users without an user account authenticating
over LDAP. For password changing the mailbox user can call a simple CGI
script. With another CGI script the LDAP admin can set passwords. The CGI's
are only accessible over SSL connections.

You should also be able to implement something similar with authentication
over a DB mechanismn (mysql, pgsql ...).
