I think, i had the same problem as you.

When dovecot runs lmtp, no user is logged in, so there is no user from
which you can get groups. So i think, my solution is (not really sure,
if this is right, it's a long time ago, i played around) this transport
in exim for local delivery

dovecot_delivery:?????????????
? debug_print = "T: dovecot_delivery_pipe for $local_part@$domain
translates to GET_LOCAL_MAIL"
? driver = pipe???????????????
? command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d "GET_LOCAL_MAIL"
? message_prefix ? message_suffix ? delivery_date_add
? envelope_to_add?????????????
? return_path_add?????????????
? log_output
? user = MAILUSER
? group = MAILUSER

I have a really sophisticated setup with ldap... so GET_LOCAL_MAIL and
MAILUSER are makros which get the email-adress and the mailuser for the
receiving emailadress.

GET_LOCAL_MAIL could be $local_part@$domain
MAILUSER is vmail in my setup, the user who owns all mailboxes

/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver is an alternative for the lmtp-delivery.
