Subject

When changing a password, either through the resetting routes or the nucleos:user:change-password command, the password field in the database is not updated.

I have been debugging for quite some time now. The password is stored in an unmapped property plainPassword by the SimpleUserManipulator and then persisted by the UserManager. The UserListener should then trigger the password hasher, creating a new password based on the plain password.
However, if only the unmapped plain password is changed, Doctrine will not fire the prePersist/preUpdate events. I verified this by adding Gedmo TimestampableEntity to my User object and updating updatedAt when setPlainPassword() is called. The password is now being re-hashed as it should.

Steps to reproduce

1. Remove the password value for a user in the database
2. Run php bin/console nucleos:user:change-password
3. Refresh your database, the password field is still empty

Expected results

The password should always be changed in the database based on the plain password, even if that's the only change happening.

Actual results

The password is not being updated, als the Doctrine events are not triggered.

Is this something structural or is my project configuration wrong / causing this issue?
