The auto=subscribe can automatically subscribe the virtual mailbox, but it can't automatically create it, because new virtual mailboxes can't be created by IMAP clients.
Hmmm...
Thunderbird has the ability to create virtual mailboxes too, but obviously they are created and handled locally, not on the server...
How much trouble would it be to add an API so that an IMAP client *could* create and manage them on a dovecot server? And Maybe this would be a good candidate for an RFC spec?
There have been a few drafts about virtual mailboxes, but they died at some point. I guess it could be implemented, but I'm less certain that there's actual need for it.
