I have turned on debugging per your recommendation. However
My version of dovecot (how do I tell what version?) only 
Has auth_debug=yes (mail_debug=yes is not in my conf file).

Also /usr/sbin/dovecot -n comes back with unknown arugment: -n

1) Show your dovecot -n output

2) Show Dovecot's logs around the time when the timeout happens.

Otherwise it's just guessing.
