[Dovecot] socket /var/spool/postfix/private/auth not created

[Subscriptions]

Made the changes, so entries in 10-master.conf are now:

------
service auth {
  unix_listener auth-userdb {
    #mode = 0666
    #user =
    #group =
  }

  # Postfix smtp-auth
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
    mode = 0660
    user = postfix
    group = postfix
  }
  # Auth process is run as this user.
  #user = $default_internal_user

}

Entries in 10-auth.conf are as follows (ass suggested by another post
I found.

auth_mechanisms = plain login
