I have posted the permissions on another post. However, when I look at "properties" & then "permissions" for 'dovecot.conf' file, following are the 'permissions' listed:

Owner: dovecot Access: Read & Write

Group: Mail Access: Read-Only

Others Access: none

This is the problem. The mailbox_command runs neither as the dovecot user nor with the mail GID. You need to give others access to read the file. # chmod o+r /etc/dovecot.conf

Execute: [] Allow executing file as program SELinux Context: file_t

I hope it makes sense to you, it does not to me.

Let me know if the above need some change.
