Yes, but that's a separate configuration issue. Whether you're going to allow non-encrypted IMAP, POP3, or HTTP connections is separate from whether or not passwords are kept encrypted or in plain text.

I mean: ok I can't have hash-based auth, If I want to store encrypted passwrods I'm forced to plain text. That has only one downside AFAIK, i.e. the password goes on air in plain text, but I can solve this problem by using SSL/TLS.

No, avoiding plain text on the wire is the purpose of hash-based challenge/response methods. The difference is whether admins or intruders can know users' passwords. Even if admins are 100% trusted and the server is well firewalled, it is worth to advise users, so that they don't reuse Courier password for their bank accounts.

I imagine the equivalent of my current Postfix+MySQL setups, where you can add an account by simply adding a row in the MySQL table (phpmyadmin), then Postfix creates the base maildir for that account on the first message received.

Courier does not. You have to run maildirmake according to your design. For example

maildirmake Maildir maildirmake -f Sent Maildir maildirmake -f Trash Maildir maildirmake -f Drafts Maildir printf './Maildir/.Sent\n' > .courier-sent chmod u=rw,go= .courier-sent

Don't forget to send a welcome message to the new mailbox...
