Set proxy_always=y and it'll work the way you want.

I considered doing the proxy_maybe check in login processes, but there
were some reasons why it wouldn't have worked well. I can't remember why
exactly now, although one issue at least was that then the same check
would have needed to be done also by LMTP proxy and doveadm proxy.
