there is no "Outlook", please do a exact debug what Outlook and Windows
Version, disable TLSv1.2 is a bad idea, my bet goes on your
ssl_cipher_list, try this

# SSL ciphers to use
ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL


or search list archive and www for other better solutions and general
dovecot ssl configs
