OK, you get a "permission denied" error...

Why do you use "group = postfix and "user = postfix" for the
auth-worker? This user needs access to your password and user
database. See:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserIds
I mean the default user/group is "root".

Hmm, this is a bit curious because auth-worker runs as user "dovecot"
and group "root" but above you've set "postfix/postfix"... Is the
socket "auth-worker" re-created with different permissions if you
restart Dovecot? Have you tried to use the default permissions
(root/root instead of postfix/postfix)?
