Next time it happens I'll just try killing dovecot-auth.  Thus far the
fix has been fairly crude:

killall dovecot
/usr/local/sbin/dovecot

That always gets it answering.  I believe by killing dovecot it takes
down dovecot-auth as well.

I will also set login_process_per_connection=no and see if that clears
anything up.

The issue is very random, can't predict it at all, but typically 2-3
times per day, so hopefully I'll know quickly if we're making
progress.
