When you use $mail_plugins for the first time, it is equal to the empty 
string, because it wasn't set yet.
When you set a config setting to $mail_plugins followed by a space, and 
then some more stuff, you are effectively putting a leading space into 
the value. doveconf -n represents this clearly by quoting the string. 
This is not important.

No. You are putting imap - specific plugins in the global mail_plugins.

No.

No.


You need to revise your general understanding of how dovecot 
configuration works. I suggest you read slowly and carefully my previous 
messages in this thread, as I have already explained a few facts that 
are relevant to your trouble, plus whatever other sources, such as the 
dovecot wiki.
