- Does dovecot.service required to use dovecot lmtp, or it may be stoppped (i not often check my mails via client, but have many incoming mails some time)
I don't understand. If you want LMTP enabled, you also need to list its socket to dovecot.socket. LMTP is executed in a similar way to IMAP/POP3. (If you want LMTP via UNIX socket, I don't really know the answer to that. Does systemd support listening on UNIX sockets? Maybe it requires patching Dovecot more.)
I'm not fully understand how can i do that and not lost my changes to dovecot.socket when the packages updates and file has been rewritten...
packages should install systemd socket/service files in /lib/systemd/.... if you want to change any file, you should copy it to /etc/systemd/... and modify it there. systemd prefers files in /etc/systemd over those in /lib/systemd
