The line wrapping is making this mess extremely difficult to read and
decipher. Are you even sure the MySQL server is even running? Have you
tried shutting down your system and rebooting and observing what
transpires? Do you have log entries from the MySQL and Dovecot servers?

Post the unaltered output of:

	postconf -n
	dovecot -n

It might be helpful to post the MySQL file that dovecot is using to
contact the MySQL server also.
