But that is not this issue. The issue is that dovecot is assuming that IPV6 is there and crashes out if it's not. Hacking the config to only listen on IP4 solves the problem but not while installing from standard repos to install the currently supported version.
dovecot can handle an IPv4-only setup, you just have to tell it to (by setting a custom 'listen' config entry, as you have already found out).
Your setup is non-standard, so it's expected that you'll have to make changes to accommodate that. Expecting that dovecot changes its default because of your particularities may be asking a little too much.
PS: It would be easier to follow the discussion if you actually replied to the messages (quoting the relevant parts) instead of sending a new message. But be sure to use a client that sets in-reply-to: or references: headers so that the thread is not broken.
