Maybe i got no answer because there is an error which seem obvious in my
logs :

Nov  4 20:57:55 vps81550 dovecot: auth: Fatal: sql: driver not set in
configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext

I've obviously seen that, and tried to configure driver in that file, but
it had no positive outcome, sous i reversed my config to the previous state.

Considering what i've read, dovecot's MySQL configuration should be OK, but
i still have that fatal error
