Oh, I think we are talking about different things here. You're talking 
about the global ssl= setting. I am talking about the ssl = yes inside 
the service listener configuration 
(https://wiki.dovecot.org/Services#inet_listeners). The former specifies 
whether SSL is available/required for user connections in general, 
whereas the latter specifies whether the service activates the TLS layer 
immediately for that particular listener. The latter is also where you 
made the configuration mistake.
