I just tried to configure a new dovecot/postfix server, and i end up with a
dovecot auth error at startup.
I can't find a solution by myself.
Below are details, thanks in advance for your precious help, and excuse my
poor english :

dovecot --version
2.2.27 (c0f36b0) (Debian)

Dovecot -n :
https://400iso.net/public/dov.txt


grep -v '^ *\(#.*\)\?$' /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
driver = mysql
connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=postfix user=postfix password=password
default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT
user_query = SELECT '/srv/vmail/%d/%n' AS home, 3000 AS uid, 3000 AS gid,
CONCAT('*:bytes=', CAST(quota AS CHAR)) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE
username = '%u' AND active='1'
password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u'


Here is part of the server's log :
