Someone who have mailbox in different directory than indexes, can confirm if doveadm can recreate index (after deleting dovecot.index* files) or these files can be created only by connecting with IMAP client?

can't spot anything obvious wrong. Just spotted that you are storing mails in users home root along with all other files such as index files.
Maybe you should store the mailbox contents into Maildir:~/Maildir under the users home and index to ~/index/
