But the username in the authentication db is completely independent of any localpart that might be used to deliver to a mailbox - access to which is authenticated by providing creds for that username.
I don't see how the fact that MTAs may or may not consider localparts to be case-sensitive has any bearing on the case-sensitivity of usernames stored in the authentication database.
I understood the problem so:
If you construct the path in the local file system from the username derived from the local part, you need to be prepared to handle different case names, hence, use %L modifier or return a new spelling from the auth DB.
E.g. recipient addresses: fore.surname@example.com, FORE.surname@example.com ...
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%u/Maildir
