is this related to mbox only ?
i have no mbox install online to test

did you try install dovecot from scratch with latest sources?

i used a script to install a quick dovecot test server on ubuntu

see
https://sys4.de/de/blog/2013/06/06/postfix-dovecot-ceph-cluster-storage/

beyond

...
Dovecot install
...

then retry with telnet , sorry no time to test myself
