That's not where dovecot-lda is looking, at least not according to the log above. Is the vmail user able to read dovecot.conf? Do you have more than one dovecot.conf, with different settings in? I would ask you to run
doveconf -m lda base_dir auth_socket_pathas the vmail user, but I'm not convinced you know how.
I managed to su to vmail by giving it a shell.
# su - vmail vmail@delta:~> doveconf -m lda base_dir auth_socket_path base_dir = /usr/var/run/dovecot auth_socket_path = auth-userdb
But I don't know how to tell dovecot-lda to listen on sockets in /usr/var/run/dovecot
Do you mean 'connect to'? It's important to be clear.
The first thing is to see what actually happens when you invoke dovecot-lda as vmail. Remember to check the logs as well as the mailboxes.
