I think up to now it's OK (not quite sure about "master out" log entry
but it looks innocuous enough).  Dovecot reports to have looked in the
system password file, failed, then looked in /etc/dovecot/users and
found the user and logged them in.

I think the problem happens later and you will have to show the subsequent
log entries.
