The dovecot log with lots of verbosity enabled tells me:

'no auth attempts' has been reported on the list a few times before and, in some cases, it means what it says - the MUA made no attempt to authenticate with username and password. I think authentication is a different activity from setting up an encrypted comms channel.
Two ideas:
Is the MUA set up to use a login?
And, as part of the secure connection, is the MUA setup to use 'starttls'?
Unfortunately, as the MUA is Apple Mail, that answer is hard to determine. Have I configured a login? Sure. have I checked "Use SSL"? Yup. Do those settings mean anything? Who knows?
With our old mail server, it "just works"... after going through the mail setup, we don't need to do anything fancy. I can't help but imagine that there's some other difference in the default configs. I'll have to dump the configs of both and do a diff and hope there aren't so many differences I can't pick out what may be relevant here...
