If you don't set auth_debug=yes (and auth_verbose=yes? I'm not sure), you won't see any error messages when real users log in.

Would you believe that when I switch the order of the real/virtual users authentication configuration, the real users do not receive email anymore? I mean, the mail is in the mailbox, but dovecot returns 0 new messages. So I have to keep the real users checking first, before virtual users, otherwise it won't work for real users.

Strange, isn't?

You probably also moved userdb static before userdb passwd, causing Dovecot to always use userdb static for everyone. So the order you want is:

1. passdb passwd-file
2. passdb pam
3. userdb passwd
4. userdb static
