[root at srv-rhsoft:~]$ postconf -n | grep dovecot
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot

dovecot.conf:
service auth {
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
  mode                         = 0660
  user                         = postfix
  group                        = postfix
 }
}

and any dovecot user works the same way and with the same
auth-mechs with postfix - in use here since 2009

any in this case means rally any like also below to get rid
of problems with legacy client-configs of a old server which
supported % instead of @, now both works equal as username
