The documentation is pretty good, but there were some gaps I had to guess at and I’m presuming that’s where I went wrong. I’ve turned SELinux to permissive mode, for now.

auth_username_format = %Ln

should fix your problem.

alternatively you need to change /etc/dovecot/users to have

test at test.com:....

instead of

test:....

and log in always with full username.
