So is it possible to start only the "dovecot-auth" part of dovecot?
not currently.
we do this too; we just disable IMAP and leave POP3 listening on 127.0.0.1 only (also handy for testing).
Another idea that I had was to export the created auth socket via nfs. Somewhere, sometimes I think to have read that it was possible to use unix domain sockets over nfs mounted shares, but I am not sure about this (and have failed so far).
Sockets over networks are known as TCP/IP :). For this to work as described, NFS would have to gain the capability to stream data about willy-nilly. Let's hope that never happens.
