Try libpam-pwdfile. Using this here on a debian box.
Does exactly what you want ;)

Just add a line like
auth    sufficient pam_pwdfile.so pwdfile /path/to/file
to /etc/pam.d/imap

The file can be created simply enough (e.g. htpasswd).

Nearly forgot one thing, took me a while to figure this out.
You will also need to add following line to /etc/pam.d/imap:
account required pam_permit.so
You will need this since the remote users dont have a local account, so
ignore that check and only check for a valid username/password.
