5 Thank you for using Postfix.

postconf -n
would be useful here.

Oddly enough, my crystal ball is getting a good reading on this one
though, it says your postconf -n will have
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot

and that
smtpd_sasl_path
does not sync up with
socket listen {
...
client {
path =
...
}
}
in dovecot.conf
