Forget looking at dovecot at teh moment, your problem maybe mysql (I'd hope you meant mariadb but either way...)
use command line mysql as vmail user from your dovecot machine to test password further BEFORE tinkering with dovecot.
~$ mysql -p -v vmail
enter password
If it's all good you'll see :

If not, look into mysql db and verifiy vmail user and perms (especially for localhost), ensure you have reloaded privs as well.
Set mysql debugging on if need be.
