[Dovecot] wrong authentication for local delivery

Hi all there,
I have a postfix/dovecot environment running with ldap authentication.

I am able to deliver e-Mails to the internet and also receive them via
fetchmail.

I have a pure local domain (av.loc). Just for internal purpuse.

For all mails where destination is a local mailbox, as for all of the
local domain, delivery does not work.

Here I can show some logs of such a process:

Here the process starts (I have sent an e-Mail to myself).

I have configured my thunderbird to have a username to authenticate
against ldap.

In the first steps above the authentication of the sender works.

But then, when delivering to the receiver, dovecot uses the e-Mail
address of the receiver to check the password.

I do not know why dovecot chechs the password of the receiver before
delivery.

I do neither know where to switch that off or set some changes in the
configuration to avoid that process. Probably it is correct?
But anyhow, the setup ldap-procedure just checks the username and no
e-Mail address.

Dovecot konfig:

As always, I would appreciate some hints.
Thanks in advance.
