Sorry, I meant if the dovecot-auth processes were "dovecot-auth -w",
i.e. auth worker processes. There's typically one dovecot-auth master
and one dovecot-auth -w worker (if you're using passdbs/userdbs that use
workers).

But anyway if you don't even get TCP accept reply, dovecot-auth
processes shouldn't matter. Only imap-login processes matter, since
they're the one accepting the connection.
