This is only peripherally related to dovecot, since you are trying to install some third-party RPM file which is not provided by the project itself. It is not, in practice, possible to install an RPM of MySQL different from the one used to build packages that depend on MySQL (since the libraries are not necessarily compatible). Precompiled binary RPM's produced by third-parties are by necessity based on the distro-supplied RPM's, so you cannot freely mix and match.
Of course, you could download the source code from dovecot.org and actually build dovecot from scratch (probably still the preferred method). Make sure that you install the MySQL dev RPM that matches the libraries you already have installed (since the headers, etc. are not usually provided in the base RPM).
