Here’s the dovecot -n output

userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext default_fields = uid=vpopmail gid=vchkpw mail_location=/usr/local/virtual/%u mail=maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%u
looks like this mail_location is confusing Dovecot. If you wanted to specify "home" here, be aware that home and mail location should (aka must) be separate directories.
