Does Dovecot really need a separate MTA for inbound mail?
Why do you thing it might need?
Or can it receive SMTP directly if there is no forwarding to do? What about spam/virus filtering in that case?
Dovecot has nothing to do with smtp. You need MTA like postfix or exim to deliver mail to mbox/maildir. Then dovecot can show those mailboxes to client.
