For gentoo, there is only one package. And here's your output:

# 2.3.13 (89f716dc2): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

# Hostname: jupiter.newideatest.site

# OS: Linux 5.11.16-gentoo-x86_64 x86_64 Gentoo Base System release 2.7 xfs

and yet if I do doveconf protocols:
# doveconf protocols
protocols = imap pop3 lmtp

In dovecot.conf i have a line that enables the protocols.

# Enable installed protocols
!include_try /usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/*.protocol

This is on debian where every protocol is a separate package to install.
This could also just be:
protocols = imap lmtp pop3



The other option to disable the pop3 listeners is to set the port = 0

From 10-master.conf (when using split config files)
service pop3-login {
 inet_listener pop3 {
   port = 0
 }
 inet_listener pop3s {
   port = 0
   ssl = yes
 }
}

This disables pop3 listeners even when the pop3 protocol is enabled.

Remove pop3 from there and you should be good. You can even have the config in place.

I would have thought that commenting them out would do that too. But I can uncomment them and add a port = 0, see if that helps.
