Any are sufficient, so I need to block them all.

That means you need a module that is required before those...

Can anyone suggest a way to achieve this by having
a list of disabled or blocked user accounts which pam will
look at?

Have a look at pam_listfile which should be part of the standard PAM distribution.

Thanks, I added a line like this:
auth        required      pam_listfile.so  item=user sense=deny file=/etc/blocked_imap_user

and this works great.
