Well, ofcourse i tried to do that.
Maybe i do not know how to create a user....
(if you please: tell me how to create a new user with password that is able
to login first from localhost)

Anyway, here's the wanted output:

auth_mechanisms = plain login
disable_plaintext_auth = no
first_valid_gid = 5000
first_valid_uid = 5000
last_valid_gid = 5000
last_valid_uid = 5000
log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S "
mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir
passdb {
  driver = pam
}
passdb {
  args = /etc/dovecot-sql.conf
  driver = sql
}
plugin {
  quota = maildir
  sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
  sieve_dir = ~/sieve
}
protocols = imap pop3
ssl = no
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf:
Service #18 is missing name
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}
userdb {
  args = /etc/dovecot-sql.conf
  driver = sql
}
protocol imap {
  mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap
  mail_plugins = quota imap_quota
  service {
    executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap 
  }
}
protocol pop3 {
  mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3
  mail_plugins = quota
  pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
  service {
    executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3
  }
}
protocol sieve {
  service {
    executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve
  }
}
protocol lda {
  auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
  hostname = AsusTT-sfn6
  mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda
  mail_plugins = sieve quota
  postmaster_adress = postmaster at asustt-sfn6.site
}

restarting dovecot:
