Sorry, I meant if the dovecot-auth processes were "dovecot-auth -w", i.e. auth worker processes. There's typically one dovecot-auth master and one dovecot-auth -w worker (if you're using passdbs/userdbs that use workers). But anyway if you don't even get TCP accept reply, dovecot-auth processes shouldn't matter. Only imap-login processes matter, since they're the one accepting the connection.
