IMHO the error message is very descriptive:
"Permission denied" :)

 passdb:
   driver: passwd-file
   args: /etc/dovecot/passwd
 userdb:
   driver: passwd-file
   args: /etc/dovecot/users

Looks like system users

 socket:
   type: listen
   client:
     path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
     mode: 432
     user: postfix
     group: postfix

IMHO Postfix executes deliver with system user privilegues, hence, "postfix" is not correct. The permission must allow all your system users to connect to this socket.

Or follow the adivce on http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix
"If you need multiple uids/gids you'll need to set deliver setuid root or invoke it through sudo. See the LDA main page how to do this securely."
Dovecot picks up the destination user from "-d" then.
