Dovecot 2.3 no longer accepts ssl_key_password

Hit a little problem when I upgraded a system from FreeBSD 10.3 to 11.2. I did not receive any errors in the upgrade. The system is running 4 jails and everything seems to work except in Dovecot 2.3.4 where when using the exact same configuration which worked in 10.3 and the same password protected certificate key. doveconf -n -P shows the correct password.
Code:
ssl_ca = </usr/local/etc/site.keys/name_com.ca-bundle
ssl_cert = </usr/local/etc/site.keys/name_com.crt
ssl_dh = </usr/local/etc/dovecot/dh.pem
ssl_key = </usr/local/etc/site.keys/name.com.key
ssl_key_password = keypassword
The password works with openssl. Changing the password on the key has no effect. Removing the password on the cert with openssl and running dovecot with the new key works.

I installed on another system and I am experiencing the same results. The issue persists whether I install dovecot from ports or pkg. I can't see where the problem is. Has anyone experienced this?
