Your configuration has no userdb referencing /etc/dovecot/passwd.override, so of
course it is not taken into account.

I implore you to read up on how userdbs function in dovecot to properly
understand what you are doing, because you seem to be fumbling a bit, however a
working configuration is probably to add `result_success = continue-ok` to your
existing userdb, and then add a following userdb that allows you to override
some fields (such as "home") for some users:

/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:

userdb {
  driver = passwd
  result_success = continue-ok
}
userdb {
  driver = passwd-file
  args = /etc/dovecot/override.passwd
}

This means that user information will first be looked up through the passwd
driver (/etc/passwd), and then subsequently (because of "continue-ok")
override any extra fields from the override file /etc/dovecot/override.passwd
for any users listed in this file.

With that said, the override file you created is also invalid. It should be
something like this:

/etc/dovecot/override.passwd:

gabriel1:*::::::mail=~/Maildir
user1:*::::::mail=~/user1/Maildir
user2:*::::::mail=~/user2/mail

The colons in this file are -not- optional. They are required to conform to the
passwd-file format
("user:password:uid:gid:(gecos):home:(shell):extra_fields"). Empty
fields should contain the empty string. See:
