Ok, then the information should be in /var/log/messages when you up the 
verbosity in 10-logging.conf by setting

mail_debug=yes

and restart dovecot. This should work as expected and show what dovecot 
is doing.

Another question:
Local mail delivery of received mail from external sources does indeed 
work?
If so, was that log excerpt in one of the former mails an example of 
such delivery?

Ok, none set. Could you post the output of postconf to the list so we 
are able to see your running postfix config.

I believe dovecot has actually nothing to do with delivering your mails 
so no sieve filters are applied...
