chmod 775 /var/log/dovecot will solve the problem. Without execute permission the process can't access the logfile. Why on earth does a process supposed to write to a file need execution

What the x permission does for directories is different than what it does for files. For directories the x permission allows access to the files in a directory (the "search" permission). Without the x bit you will get a permissions error (just like you're getting).
