New cert as in file modification date or checksum changed? Might work.
Still, from what I seem to remember, Dovecot loads certificate data
before dropping privileges, which is why reloading the data might be
problematic without some changes. Not worth spending development effort
on, IMO, given that Dovecot can easily be restarted by the external
processes that update the cert (like Certbot hook, Ansible, etc.).
