Pretty sure you can set up multiple unix_listener's. What about creating
another one, inside the 'service auth' container? It'll need to have
unix_listener set to 'auth-userdb' (for dovecot's sake, which probably
means that you'll to leave it with default user/group/permissions) with a
'path' of /var/run/dovecot. And then rename the existing one to
auth-userdb-postfix (totally arbitrary), though note that that will change
the filename of the socket itself, so you'll need to change postfix to use
/var/spool/postfix/private/auth/auth-userdb-postfix (i.e. same last
component as the argument to 'unix_listener')

So you'd end up with something like:

service auth {
 unix_listener auth-userdb {
    path = /var/run/dovecot
    mode = 0660 (or whatever the default is)
    user = $dovecot_auth_user_dunno_what
    group = $dovecot_auth_group_dunno_what
  }
  unix_listener auth-userdb-postfix {
    path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
    mode = 0660
    user = postfix
    group = postfix
  }
}

And then postfix would have /var/spool/postfix/private/auth/auth-userdb-postfix
for its dovecot-related socket
