Upgrading to the release version of Dovecot would be a good idea. 
although it is not likely to be related to your trouble.

Yes. I use it all the time.

Probably nothing on the Dovecot side.

Outbound mail does not involve Dovecot except in providing 
authentication services for Postfix. You will need to at least share 
the error message you are getting for anyone to have any clue as to 
how to help, and probably your master.cf and main.cf files from 
Postfix as well.

This is *probably* better directed at the Postfix community, but 
there are likely to be people here who can help.
