The first lines should be something like this:

# 2.2.18 (8906101589f9): 
/usr/local/dovecot-2.2.18/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Pigeonhole version 0.4.8 (3df7e50f986d)
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.10

What version are you using?

Did you've removed or commented the line :

10-auth.conf:#!include auth-system.conf.ext

?

uid=%n makes no sense. Please use just:

pass_attrs = userPassword=password

I have tried your config with above mentioned version, with LDAP as only 
passdb and userdb and these LDAP-settings:

hosts = localhost
auth_bind = yes
base = <baseDN>
deref = searching
user_attrs = =home=/var/spool/mail/%d/%n,=mail=maildir:/var/spool/mail/%d/%n/Maildir:INDEX=/var/spool/mail/%d/%n:CONTROL=/var/spool/mail/%d/%n
user_filter = (&(objectClass=fhMailAlias)(uid=%n))
pass_attrs = userPassword=password
pass_filter = (&(objectClass=fhMailAlias)(uid=%Ln)(!(deniedService=%Ls)))
iterate_filter = (objectClass=fhMailAlias)

Note the pass_attrs. Then I submitted a new message with:

socat stdin UNIX:/var/run/dovecot2.2/lmtp
LHLO loc
mail from:<me at example.com>
rcpt to:<other at example.com>
data
Subject: 1

1
.

successfully. Maildir was created and message spooled to 
/var/spool/mail/example.com/other/Maildir. Then I logged in via IMAP 
successfully as well.

I also tried the other order: reload Dovecot to flush any caches, log in 
via IMAP and submit via LMTP.

You should however note the following:

Both filters treat users "me at example.com" and "me at localhost.localdomain" 
as the same user, because they match the same LDAP item (uid=%n), however 
the directories of the users _should_ differ, but they won't as long as 
the user's information is cached in the auth cache.

That means:

doveadm auch cache flush
doveadm user me at example.net
doveadm user me at example.com

returns the date for me at example.net in both cases and

doveadm auch cache flush
doveadm user me at example.com
doveadm user me at example.net

returns the data for me at example.com in both cases.
