I have to say I'm totally baffled since I do nothing when LetsEncrypt renews the certificate. 

I know the cert has been updated because the mail clients asks me if I trust the certificate. 

If it makes a difference I use the bash LetsEncrypt not the Python code.

If you're using Let's Encrypt, then at least the certbot client has
renewal hooks that you can use to run dovecot reload etc.

Good luck!
