missed "I looked at the documentation on how to increase this setting"
and "It looks like in dovecot 1.x this would go in an protocol imap
block, but I don't have one of those in my conf"

it goes in no block, part of the main config

login_log_format_elements      = user=<%u> %r %m %c
login_log_format               = %$: %s
mail_max_userip_connections    = 50
auth_mechanisms                = CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 APOP LOGIN PLAIN
disable_plaintext_auth         = no
shutdown_clients               = no
version_ignore                 = yes
