I have Davmail/CalDAV setup to an Exchange server and it works as you
would expect - i.e. I was prompted for a password the first time I
logged in and when I change the password on the sever, I'm prompted for
a new password.

Are you sure you have the correct format for the URL - mine is something
like

  caldav://locahost:1080/users/<email address>/calendar

Perhaps you already have a password stored that it's trying to use -
look in the gnome-keyring (probably using seahorse) for a caldav entry
for the server and remove it (after first making sure Evo is shutdown),
you should be prompted for the password when you try and open the
calendar.
