1. I realized that I cannot start 2.3.0.1 when I enable submission, since my Exim MTA is already using that port. This persists even if I tell the submission protocol to use a different port than 587. I tested 2587, but it would appear that 587 is hard-coded!
2. I realize that "unix_listener auth-client" service ceased to exist!
3. I realized that while 2.2.34 runs with default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT, 2.3.0.1 would not run with it.
4. I have run dovecot -n from my 2.2.x installation and 2.3.x installation and here is the diff from the two files.
I am confused why authentication is failing with dovecot-2.3.0.1 when it uses 2.3.x config files using MD5-CRYPT scheme while it is succeeding with dovecot-2.2.34 using the same.
Maybe the problem is elsewhere??? I need a 3rd eye to help me.

Maybe I am just suffering brainlock and need to debug auth further, but I have see a question about this auth issue already from another poster, and it's not been answered by anyone.
