So my workaround was to create a simple wrapper and call it, instead of
dovecot-lda:
$ cat /local/bin/dovecot-lda-wrapper
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda \
-d "${LOCAL_PART}@${DOMAIN}" \
-a "${LOCAL_PART}${LOCAL_PART_SUFFIX}@${DOMAIN}" \
-r "${LOCAL_PART}${LOCAL_PART_SUFFIX}@${DOMAIN}" \
-f "${SENDER}"
Here's how it is called from Exim:
dovecot_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = /local/bin/dovecot-lda-wrapper
# command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda \
# -d $local_part@$domain \
# -a $local_part$local_part_suffix@$domain \
# -r $local_part$local_part_suffix@$domain \
# -r $local_part$local_part_suffix@$domain \
# -f $return_path
