Hi all,
First I would like to Thank you all, it is such a responsive and wonderful community here.
I started to debug the issue by streaming logs and figured that EHLO was being sent when I click "Re-Test" button on thunderbird, another issue I encountered I was not able to connect ports 465/993, It was not blocked by firewall cause I could see live streaming logs, I think it's more on postfix side which I have sent for help.
here are my logs
and config ( postfix, dovecot) https://pastebin.com/M3XG9DXA
In case someone could help, I can pay a small amount for figuring out this issue.
Thanks again

The problem is, AFAIK, Thunderbird's autoconfiguration. It tries to detect your SMTP settings (note: SMTP, i.e. for mail sending, not for receiving, which would actually involve dovecot), but does it violating the protocol (does pipelining without waiting for confirmation).

The bug is old and considered to be resolved. And nobody cares :( If you use postfix a "workaround" is to temporarily disable postscreen, which IIRC is the one (rightly) complaining about the improper pipelining.
