Are you sure the connection is opened correctly? If I were debugging this 
on my machine I'd:

1) Add something to check that the MySQL connection is fine:

mysql postfix -e "select now()" > /root/dovecot-debug

2) and that USER contains what you think it contains:

echo $USER >> /root/dovecot-debug

[ 3) or more generally: ]

env | sort >> /root/dovecot-debug

It shouldn't be, no. This still seems more like a MySQL problem than 
something specific to Dovecot.
