https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh I used the Neilpang bash script on Centos 7.
No drama. It just works. The only thing is because it works so well I am pretty much useless to provide help with it because it has been so flawless. The only way I know it is running is I have to accept new certs on my mail clients.
There is a mod to the script I added to restart dovecot to enable the new cert to be used. It may be stock now.

For the record, certbot works just fine on CentOS. It just requires that you understand how things work. :-)
The plugin which you seek is called python2-certbot-apache.noarch. You can see all of the available plugins on CentOS 7 by running the following: yum list \*certbot\*
In addition there are MANY other packages available for generating LE certs. Most are not included in CentOS or EPEL. Some are easier to configure some not so much. It really depends on your requirements and skill level.
requesting a standalone, generic certificate. After the command "1: Spin up a temporary webserver" I have the following 2 files in the folder /etc/letsencrypt:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 924 Nov 12 11:14 csr/0000_csr-certbot.pem -rw------- 1 root root 1708 Nov 12 11:14 keys/0000_key-certbot.pem
The "key" is probably a direct replacement for the file in the distribution. What about the "csr" file? It seems to be a request, not the certificate itself.
You have something mis-configured or something is running on port 80 when Certbot is trying to install a tmp web server on port 80. What is mis-configured or what is running on port 80, I cannot tell with the information you have provided. I can tell you I have been running Certbot for the last 3 or 4 years without issue on various CentOS systems I maintain.
In addition, I suspect this whole thread is off topic for the Dovecot list.
If you want further help, I suggest asking on the CentOS list.
