v2.0 has different configuration from v1.x, you need to migrate the
configuration the way it says:
>     doveconf: Warning: NOTE: You can get a new clean config file with:
doveconf -n > dovecot-new.conf
So, doveconf -n > dovecot-new.conf
mv dovecot-new.conf /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

That should do it.
