Full stop, anything past here and you're debugging noise.
You've configured out SSL/TLS on dovecot ...

You configured dovecot to accept only plain IMAP (on port 143), but
your mail reader is configured to connect to an IMAP/SSL service
(port 993).
Maybe it will start working if you configure Mutt
set spoolfile=imap://steve@vmail-s/
(Just guessing -- I don't use Mutt.)
