I think so, but I never tried to keep these settings in my main.cf while
I didn't use virtual.

This should be "dovecot" - corresponding to your master.cf:

dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d
${recipient}

Nope...

This should be something like:

May 11 13:09:47 ns1 postfix/pipe[9797]: 7C4D4847BC:
                            ^^^^
to=<luca at example.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=0, status=sent
                             ^^^^^^^
