With above configuration all users within the domain share all their non-INBOX mailboxes. Is this really what you wanted?

passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/passwd.dovecot userdb: driver: passwd

Password excepted, my passwd.dovecot file containing a single virtual user looks like:

richard:{plain}password:504:505::/home/vmail

Then you should configure dovecot to use userdb passwd-file { .. } instead of using userdb passwd (which uses your /etc/passwd).

Also don't make home directory shared across users. Instead I'd do something like:

home = /var/spool/mail/vhosts/domain.tld/name

mail_location = mbox:~/mail
