According to https://www.imapwiki.org/SpecialUse <https://www.imapwiki.org/SpecialUse> Outlook might support RFC6154 SPECIAL-USE extension.
You can try setting special_use = \Junk for that junk folder.

Dovecot does not do that. You must mean sieve script. You can add :create into your fileinto directive to make pigeonhole to create the folder if it does not exist.

also you can use ACL to forbid user from deleting/renaming the Junk folder.
