Are you running this on a Dovecot proxy? It looks like doveadm wants to do a passdb lookup to find out which server should handle this user. Passdb lookups don't work with LDAP binding. But if everything else works then I think you simply shouldn't have enabled doveadm proxying. So, set doveadm_proxy_port back to 0?
