So Dovecot is advertising PLAIN and LOGIN mechanisms to Postfix.
client:

Looks correct too.
I can see the private/auth socket created when dovecot starts, with
postfix:postfix permissions. Also, netstat shows it:
bash:# netstat -ln | grep dovecot
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 111791 private/
dovecot
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 120787 /var/run/
dovecot//dict-server
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 120789 /var/run/
dovecot//login/default
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 120800 /var/run/
dovecot/auth-master
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 120803 /var/run/
dovecot//auth-worker.29982
I don't see it there. What is that private/dovecot anyway? Maybe
netstat -lnp | grep dovecot would have shown the socket though.
What Postfix version do you use?
