Looks like you are activating both a socket and a port. Im not sure what dovecot does, does it bind to both or does it pick one and ignore the other. You only need to use one or the other.
And what does your postfix side look like? Where is postfix trying to connect? To the socket or the port? For using a socket postfix would look something like:
virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/lmtp
Ha, my mistake. As dovecot had not created the socket I assumed th elmtp socket was the one the new config had created, so I changed the config to use that one.
Now I only have to find out why dovecot doesn't create the /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp socket
The inet_listener was added to see if I could work around this.
