Per default Debian uses a chrooted Postfix configuration. Therefore the socket needs to be located inside the chroot e.g:

service lmtp {
 unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp {
   group = postfix
   mode = 0660
   user = postfix
  }
}

These should give an idea on how it plays together:
