And you gave deliver -d parameter when running from command line? If it
works from there but not from Postfix, then the problem has something to
do with how deliver is started. Did you try running as the same user as
what Postfix runs it with?

So it should be accepting connections.

There really isn't any other way than to run deliver. auth_debug=yes
will also log something whenever deliver is run and dovecot-auth sees
something.
