All of the above specified settings are correct. Yet, when I telnet localhost 143, I get:
Trying ::1... # this is certainly suspect Escape character is '^['. Connection closed by foreign host.
What does 'netstat -l46np' say?
It doesn't look good. Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State

dovecot process should appear with :143
Did you specify the p option? Then dovecot process name should appear. Try telnet 127.0.0.1 143 instead of localhost telnet localhost seems to use the IPv6 localhost adress which isn't used on dovecot side. I assume you don't use much IPv6 on this system, so this is no problem at all.
