When I open a local mutt I get the following:-

Full stop, anything past here and you're debugging noise.

You've configured out SSL/TLS on dovecot ...

/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# disable ssl for now
ssl = no

... but your Mutt configuration has ...

~/.mutt.muttrc
set spoolfile=imaps://steve@vmail-s/

... and your debug logs state ...

You configured dovecot to accept only plain IMAP (on port 143), but
your mail reader is configured to connect to an IMAP/SSL service
(port 993).

Maybe it will start working if you configure Mutt

        set spoolfile=imap://steve@vmail-s/

(Just guessing -- I don't use Mutt.)
