So, dovecot-postfix is intended as an alternative for all the others?

Thanks, I'll have to check that, too. I did not know it also needed to be
in master.cf. I have a reference in main.cf but it doesn't have args.
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/dovecot-auth
mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver
