I would make it the other way round: enabled it via userdb_import.

autoexpunge must be part of a mailbox section. At least you must try:

namespace inbox {
  mailbox Inbox {
  }
}

according:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings?highlight=%28autoexpunge%29

"The mailbox section name specifies the mailbox name. If it has spaces, 
you can put it in "quotes"."

Inbox should work.
