you must have done something wrong, that below is a production "dobecont.conf"
with no config-includes and such crap running as imap/pop3-proxy as well as
postfix-auth-service and there is no single bit for director, that config runs
at least 4 years unchanged, saw 2.2.12 also as it runs currently on 2.2.13
while the last real config cahnge was 1.x to 2.x

so what about post output of "dovecont -n" to help people helping you
even do yourself a "dovecot -n | grep director"
