So the problem really is in order of things.

Your protocol specific passdbs are AFTER your global passdb. Global passdb {}
returns return-ok on successful authentication and rest of the passdbs are never
processed.

postconf sorts all keys alphabetically. But I tried your idea and placed the
global passdb also into the protocol. postconf looks now like this and it still
produces the same errors:

So now all passdbs are inside protocol.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it looks to me something is missing for the "auth" service. Do you
have any ideas?

Thanks again for your help

I finally got it working. Thanks to your help. In addition to that I found this
here:

https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2012-March/081885.html

which seems to be required for Dovecot to function properly. It seems a little
bit nasty to add a dummy backend, but at the end it works for me.

Because it was only in "order of things". You must have a global
passdb {}. Your problem was that protocol specific passdb:s need to be
*before* the global passdb.
