I finally figured out what the problem was. It was a misconfiguration
of the MUA.

In any case, I do have the files listed in my dovecot.conf:

ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem

I am not sure why "dovecot -n" does not show them. I also noticed
another error. At the end of the output of "dovecot -n" is this
notation:

    client:
      path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
      mode: 438
    master:
      path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
      mode: 438

However, in my conf file, it is listed like this:(snippet)

    master {
      path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
      mode = 0666

    }
    client {
      path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
      mode = 0666

From the "/var/run/dovecot" directory:

drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel     512B Mar 26 05:33 ./
drwxr-xr-x  16 root  wheel     1.0K Mar 29 05:32 ../
srw-rw-rw-   1 root  wheel       0B Mar 26 05:33 auth-client=
srw-rw-rw-   1 root  wheel       0B Mar 26 05:33 auth-master=
srw-------   1 root  wheel       0B Mar 26 05:33 auth-worker.1250=
srwxrwxrwx   1 root  wheel       0B Mar 26 05:33 dict-server=
lrwx------   1 root  wheel      27B Mar 26 05:33 dovecot.conf@ -> /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
drwxr-x---   2 root  dovecot   512B Mar 26 05:33 login/
-rw-------   1 root  wheel       5B Mar 26 05:33 master.pid

I am not sure if something is wrong or not. In any case, everything is
working correctly again.
