I suppose you added -d parameter to deliver also.

Change either that from auth { socket { .. } } path or change
auth_socket_path setting.

Changing user_attrs can't cause this error. Adding -d parameter to
deliver does.

If you're using dovecot transport, you should probably remove the
mailbox_command since it only causes confusion.

Also one more possibility to fix this instead of using deliver -d
parameter is to set:

plugin {
  home = /var/vmail/%u/home
}
