If Dovecot logs nothing, it means nothing tried to authenticate to
Dovecot. Do you also mean Postfix doesn't log anything? I don't really
know what things it logs or doesn't. I'd guess it would log errors about
not being able to connect to auth socket, so maybe the problem is some
setting that makes Postfix not even attempt an actual authentication.
