My interpretation of your error messages is you need 2 sets of credentials:
regular users and master users. You've only supplied master passwords.
You'll need
# Contains master users credentials
passdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/master-passwd
driver = passwd-file
master = yes
pass = yes
}
# Contains regular user credentials
passdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/passwd
driver = passwd-file
}
