What do you have for the "shutdown_clients" option?
shutdown_clients: no
I think the imap-login processes will hang around if there are SSL or proxy connections through them (but perhaps they shouldn't be "listen"-ing for new connections?).
It would be good if existing clients were not disconnected but starting dovecot would be possible. That's how daemons for other services behave.
It might be worth trying
login_process_per_connection = yes
That way, the login-processes have no need to be "listen"-ing once somebody has logged in.
