So you've tried that doing this via auth.sh script that sets those
before calling dovecot/auth works?

Environment is inherited, but Dovecot explicitly clears it at the
startup of each process, so any unnecessary stuff gets dropped out. But
it would be possible to add e.g. DOVECOT_PRESERVE_ENVS that lists which
environments variables should be preserved.
