Dovecot auth error

I just tried to configure a new dovecot/postfix server, and i end up with a
dovecot auth error at startup.
I can't find a solution by myself.
Below are details, thanks in advance for your precious help, and excuse my
poor english :

dovecot --version
2.2.27 (c0f36b0) (Debian)

Dovecot -n :
https://400iso.net/public/dov.txt


grep -v '^ *\(#.*\)\?$' /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
driver = mysql
connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=postfix user=postfix password=password
default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT
user_query = SELECT '/srv/vmail/%d/%n' AS home, 3000 AS uid, 3000 AS
gid,
CONCAT('*:bytes=', CAST(quota AS CHAR)) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE
username = '%u' AND active='1'
password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u'


Here is part of the server's log :

dovecot. In dovecot, it's usually a separate package,
called dovecot-mysql.

Dovecot auth error

Maybe i got no answer because there is an error which seem obvious in my
logs :

Nov  4 20:57:55 vps81550 dovecot: auth: Fatal: sql: driver not set in
configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext

I've obviously seen that, and tried to configure driver in that file, but
it had no positive outcome, sous i reversed my config to the previous state.

Considering what i've read, dovecot's MySQL configuration should be OK,
but
i still have that fatal error

This might sound silly, but in your doveconf you have:

passdb {
  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
  driver = sql
}

Yet from this:
>> grep -v '^ *\(#.*\)\?$' /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
It sounds like the config file you're working with is
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf, not /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext.
It's not as simple as a filename problem, is it?
