doveadm has two types of commands: mail commands and non-mail commands. The mail_plugins can add new mail features, and doveadm plugins can add more doveadm commands, which use the new mail features. But doveadm can also have plugins that add non-mail commands, which don't need anything in mail_plugins. So both cases would need to work..
