So use:

Well these did seem to be set correctly (I've been experimenting with
different settings).
Here is a portion of "dovecot -n" output
passdb:
driver: passwd-file
args: /var/mail/vhosts/%d/passwd
userdb:
driver: passwd-file
args: uid=vmail gid=vmail username_format=%n /var/mail/vhosts/%d/passwd
passwd-file has no such settings as uid and gid.
This appears to be the problem. So much for copy and paste then modify
from a bunch of different examples! 8-|
Now I can log into Dovecot (IMAP) and send mail to the accounts
(Postfix/Dovecot AUTH).
Thanks Timo.

Where does userdb and passdb each come into play?
Password is looked up from the passdb. After user is successfully
authenticated it looks up home directory, uid and gid from userdb.
Should their settings be the same since I'm using one file?
Yes.
