chmod 775 /var/log/dovecot will solve the problem. Without execute permission

Why on earth does a process supposed to write to a file need execution
permission? This most certainly is very unwelcome behavior and a bug in any
case, no matter if it's intended by the author or not.
chmod ug+x on the /var/log/dovecot directory! Standard POSIX permissions for a
non-root process to enter a directory.
It most certainly isn't. nginx isn't running as root, yet it can log without
execution permissions just fine. Absolutely nothing should have execution
permissions if they aren't meant to be executed, which should only be true for
a very small set of files besides binaries.
