Aki,
I ran the command as you requested. Now Dovecot seems to start correctly.
Here is the Pastebin of the Terminal output: https://pastebin.com/rgwzt6Ck
Question 1: Now, having installed Dovecot before (using 2.2.x), I never
encountered this issue, only in 2.3.10. Was I supposed to do something
in preparation or setup of Dovecot before starting it?
Question 2: Now that this cert has been generated, how will this cert be
used for my setup? What I mean is, I have a signed CA cert for my domain
that I would now configure Dovecot to use. Would my signed CA cert
replace the cert that was created in /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem?
My apologies for my ignorance.

It seems to fail because it fails to generate a cert.
Can you try running mkcert.sh by hand as root?
env SSLDIR=/etc/pki/dovecot/ OPENSSLCONFIG=/etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot-openssl.cnf
/usr/libexec/dovecot/mkcert.sh
maybe it tells what goes wrong?

Greetings,
I installed Dovecot 2.3.10 on my Centos 7.7.1908 server, however it fails
startup. This is a fresh/default install, meaning all the configs are default,
downloaded from the dovecot.repo.
Here is my PasteBin: https://pastebin.com/376UQFLs
