I'm not using internal logging. I'm running the docker with the logging to
the host.
I have used the same options you have specified.
The problem is that the below processes are not running inside docker
container whereas the standalone dovecot is running these processes(meaning
without container)

dovecot-Dovecot/auth
dovecot-Dovecot/ssl-params
dovecot-Director/lmtp
dovecot-Director/ssl-params
dovecot-Director/imap-login director


Thanks & Regards,
Naveen
