It seems the issue here is that "root" is the only user who is allowed
to read Dovecot's configuration file. Presumably, Dovecot, like most
services, is started as "root" and then drops its permissions to
least-required once started.
You can change owner and mode for /var/run/dovecot/config with the
following entry in 10-master.conf:
service config {
unix_listener config {
mode = 0600
user = vmail
}
}
