What creates that socket? Something like Exim or Postfix?
Chances are the external program still creates that socket under it's
original directory and will either need to be changed to match your new
path, or point it to the existing socket.

find / -iname auth-master

May be worth a run just to see if it still exists in the 'old' location
the last dovecot was looking at.
