Hello. Is there any way to decrypt the passes from the eggdrops user file?

You would need to know the encryption algorithm and key.

I don't doubt somebody knows, but you can safely assume they will not be telling us.

Actually, the password is encrypted using the loaded encryption module (blowfish by default).

As for the blowfish-module, it uses a one-way encryption.
The one-way encryption is achieved by using the password itself as the key (generating the cipher-stream), to encrypt a fixed salt.
Reverse-engineering the key for the cipher-stream would be virtually impossible given the small size of the final hash (~768 bits).
