I think up to now it's OK (not quite sure about "master out" log entry but it looks innocuous enough). Dovecot reports to have looked in the system password file, failed, then looked in /etc/dovecot/users and found the user and logged them in.
I think the problem happens later and you will have to show the subsequent log entries.
