Forgot to mention I am running 2.0.17.
The above works in v2.1.
And I am getting the following error:
auth: Fatal: No passdbs specified in configuration file. PLAIN mechanism needs one
From a previous post it appears that Dovecot cannot run without a global lookups specified:

Per the suggestion in the old post I created an empty passwdfile and included it in the auth-passwdfile which seems to have alleviated the issue, however this seems like a sub-optimal solution. Is this still the case, or is there a way to tell Dovecot that there is no global lookups?
The !lmtp version avoids that fatal problem. So the solution is: upgrade.
