Dovecot listens on imaps/pop3s by default, so you need to disable them
explicitly like this:

    service imap-login {
        inet_listener imap {
            # defaults
        }
        inet_listener imaps {
            # disable the imaps service
            port = 0
        }
    }

and the equivalent for pop3-login.
