ok. Problem found and resolved.
!include conf.d/*.conf
was missing from my dovecot.conf.
Don't know how or why, but putting the line in fixed the problem.
Thanks,
Leo

ok. Obviously I'm no guru here, I'm just trying to figure out why this socket is missing.
If I shut down postfix, the sockets in private are still there. They are also all owned by postfix. If postfix is only the consumer then I assume dovecot must have write access to private, which it doesn't
Thanks

postfix can hardly create the socket because it is the *consumer* of it - so dovecot is responsible
as well as other sockets are *not* created at install but at start time - a socket is not a regular file and you can compare it to a listening TCP port

This may be a stupid question, but which process is supposed to create the socket. All other (existing) sockets in /var/spool/postfix/private are owned by Postfix, so am assuming they were created when Postfix was installed.

Made the changes, so entries in 10-master.conf are now:
------ service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { #mode = 0666 #user = #group = }
# Postfix smtp-auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } # Auth process is run as this user. #user = $default_internal_user
}
Entries in 10-auth.conf are as follows (ass suggested by another post I found.

No matter what I try, the listener is not created.
Text does the trick as well and survives pictures in the archives ;)
# Postfix smtp-auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0600 user = postfix group = postfix
The wiki quoted and my running config both use 'mode = 0660'. Give that a try:
service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = doveauth }
You may leave out the extra doveauth user which is a specific flavor of my configuration. If that still fails, you should post some log excerpts from dovecot after a reload which probably show the problem.
