Have you searched for these errors online or on the dovecot site?
I notice in your configuration (earlier message) that you have passdb pam enabled, but that you don't have any directives uncommented inside your passdb pam section.
I see in my config:
# REMEMBER: You'll need /etc/pam.d/dovecot file created for PAM # authentication to actually work. passdb pam { args = "*" }
I don't know if this will work for your config. You need to look up the errors, and see what you can find.
The most relevant parts of your error log appear to be
illegal module type: passdb
PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/{
but I'm just guessing that these are related to your root cause.
