'Works' already.
# grep -rn ^protocols .
./conf.d/local.conf:90:protocols = $protocols imap
./conf.d/local.conf:109:protocols = $protocols lmtp
./conf.d/local.conf:120:protocols = $protocols pop3
./conf.d/local.conf:136:protocols = $protocols managesieve
./dovecot.conf:25:protocols =

BUT (1), `doveconf protocols` reports:
protocols = $protocols managesieve
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /path/2/dovecot/dovecot.conf: protocols: Unknown protocol: $protocols

But (2) `doveconf -x protocols` works:
protocols =  imap lmtp pop3 managesieve
