Maybe being too literal, or misunderstanding your 'extra', I changed to,

	...
	service auth-worker {
	#       user  = doveauth
	#       group = dovecot
		user = $default_internal_user

		unix_listener auth-worker {
			user = postfix
		}
	}
	...

At

	telnet 127.0.0.1 143
	etc

I get the same FAIL as above.

But, if first I

	chown doveauth:dovecot /var/run/dovecot/auth-worker

then

	telnet 127.0.0.1 143
	Trying 127.0.0.1...
	Connected to 127.0.0.1.
	Escape character is '^]'.

succeeds.
