When I open a local mutt I get the following:-

Full stop, anything past here and you're debugging noise.
You've configured out SSL/TLS on dovecot ...
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # disable ssl for now ssl = no
... but your Mutt configuration has ...
~/.mutt.muttrc set spoolfile=imaps://steve@vmail-s/
... and your debug logs state ...

You configured dovecot to accept only plain IMAP (on port 143), but your mail reader is configured to connect to an IMAP/SSL service (port 993).
Maybe it will start working if you configure Mutt
set spoolfile=imap://steve@vmail-s/(Just guessing -- I don't use Mutt.)
