Hello.

I am migrating my servers to Ubuntu and have been having an issue with Dovecot authenticator service.

Exim is set up to use dovecot-auth, anticipating the question whether exim binary was compiled with support of Dovecot authenticator, it was:

I thought that dovecot sockets are under /var/run/dovecot, not /var/dovecot, by default on Ubuntu 16.04.

Anyways, to make sure dovecot actually is configured to listen on those sockets, you could stop dovecot, rm the socket files, and start dovecot to see if those sockets get created.
