Your logfile contains mostly postfix/smtpd daemon entries, and the 
disconnect from the IMAP. Do you see a successfully IMAP connection in 
your log?
Do you have a signed certificate or self-signed?
When you connect, do you get the certificate pop-up? Maybe Outlook has 
some hidden feature to disable invalid certificates. But I refuse to 
install Outlook to see how it works in my environment :)

Maybe you can filter the postfix entries out your log. Postfix is only 
used for the smtp feature, while dovecot does your pop3/imap.

With the following entries in dovecot, you can log their entries in a 
different logfile than postfix:
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log
