dovecot --version 2.3.21 (47349e2482)

I have Postfix and two dovecot directors I am trying to setup them as proxy in front of two dovecot backends, I am using openldap, when I set
passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y nopassword=y }

it is working fine. but If I try to authenticate on the proxy I get this error: lmtp(22086): Error: lmtp-server: conn [3]: rcpt : Failed to initialize user: Namespace '': Mail storage autodetection failed with home=(not set)

here is my openldap file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-openldap-proxy.conf.ext:

uris = ldaps:// dn = CN=,OU=,DC=,dc= dnpass = debug_level = 0 auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = OU=,DC=,dc= scope = subtree user_attrs = mail=user pass_attrs = userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(mail=%u))

dovecot -n on the director side:
