Just some quick ideas
* check if the mysql socket file has rw permissions for the dovecot user

# ls -l /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
srwxrwxrwx. 1 mysql mysql 0 Mar  1 19:33 /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

that's not the problem

I have tried with
connect = host=localhost dbname=servermail user='usermail' 
password='gjwslegosoghjshloehg$_jsdgh'
and
connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=servermail user='usermail' 
password='gjwslegosoghjshloehg$_jsdgh'

still doesn't work:
Mar  2 04:58:48 mail dovecot: auth-worker(5745): Error: mysql(127.0.0.1): 
Connect failed to database (servermail): Access denied for user 
'usermail'@'localhost' (using password: YES) - waiting for 1 seconds before 
retry

that is a pretty clear message



the user with that password from that host is not allowed - period

the username / password / host is wrong, fix your mysql permissions and keep in mind that localhost != 127.0.0.1 in that context
