dovecot -n output shows which config file dovecot is actually using, as opposed to which one you *think* it is using. Then how do I change the one it's using?
As Pascal wrote, you select the -c option for the alternate configuration file upon startup. As to why you don't just swap the files round - I don't know: regardless, you may change the init.d script to reflect the change in your configuration file location.
In Debian, for example, you would change the CONF=/etc/dovecot/${NAME}.conf in /etc/init.d/dovecot to CONF=/etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf
