If you need the auth socket only for one user, just set the correct 
permissions.

Postfix can run the deliver process as the dovecot user. For more info 
see <http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix>.

It depends on your setup, I guess. Another feasible option might be 
using filesystem ACLs for the auth socket.
