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

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.
What the x permission does for directories is different than what it
does for files. For directories the x permission allows access to the
files in a directory (the "search" permission). Without the x bit you
will get a permissions error (just like you're getting).
