Oh, I left out one word:
"if the user is under quota currently" aka before delivery. Actually
your idea. I just rephrased to emphase, that now the before-deliver
situation is tested and not the final one and that you have already
forseen the case, that a message is unable to fit into the mailbox at all.
Latter reminds me to possibly change my "over quota" reply into: "user
over quota or message too large".

I think not. You can craft a special .conf for deliver, but you can
increase the quota programmatically only in SQL or in dovecot.conf, but
not for the other user DBs.
And because of Sieve's fileinto, you cannot add a quota_rule just for
INBOX, but you would need to alter (increase) the general, basic quota.
It's not the same, but it would come close enough :) When the "service"
deliver has a quota exception, an user cannot exploit the exception
directly.
