Ubuntu is using dovecot-postfix.conf as the working config file if you install the package 'dovecot-postfix' from the Ubuntu server team. But if you install the seperate packages 'dovecot-[common|imapd|pop3d]' dovecot.conf will be used.
This is what I have installed:

So, dovecot-postfix is intended as an alternative for all the others?
And it might be, that your master.cf does not call dovecot deliver with '-c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf' as part of argv=.
Thanks, I'll have to check that, too. I did not know it also needed to be in master.cf. I have a reference in main.cf but it doesn't have args.
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/dovecot-auth mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver
