I am running the latest MacPorts dovecot and latest iOS and see the first line.

I have run into some issues with Mail.app on macOS that were solved by removing the account and recreating again. macOS Mail.app kept settings around on how to connect to IMAP (from years of upgrading an existing dovecot). These were solved only when I recreated the mail account on the client side so th eclient queried the server anew and created its settings anew.

It’s not really debugging but trial and error, but then, debugging anything on iOS (anything Apple, really) is hard to do.
