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.
