So not use users from /etc/passwd and

virtual_mailbox_domains = <list of my domains or database with it>
mydestination =

I think last two lines not for virtual, but for system users, so use
virtual_alias_maps instead

virtual_transport = dovecot

As far as I understand postfix also need to know users/mailboxes. So
there must be:
virtual_mailbox_maps = type:database

with database key equal to mailbox name and value with something (virtual
from postfix distribution wants path to mailbox/maildir). mailbox name
is user at domain.
