you could avoid that by have it loisten on the global IP (0.0.0.0 for 
ipv4 and ::: for ipv6) instead configure a specific IP for the service, 
otherwise you need to make sure ordering with After= or Before= in the 
systemd-units

[root at srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/dovecot.service
[Unit]
Description=Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Proxy
After=network.service systemd-networkd.service network-online.target 
dbmail-imapd.service dbmail-pop3d.service mysqld.service 
mysqld-dbmail.service
Before=postfix.service
