it works with imap connections, so I assumed it also would do it for lmtp.

Is this a loop maybe?  director_mail_servers should list all your backend dovecot servers, space separated. Here's mine:

    director_mail_servers = 192.168.42.7 192.168.42.8 192.168.42.9 192.168.42.10 192.168.42.11 192.168.42.28 192.168.42.29

using only one director and backend would be fine for tests purposes (as it was with imap and not loops were formed)

What I don't understand is why director insists in providing a proxy host from passdb when all it needs to do is pick the ones in director_mail_servers ¿?

please could you post you lmtp configuration??
