Tried your config here and it works. My debug log looks as follows

Took me a few tries to get this working though. You need to configure
the permissions of /vmail correctly. Are you sure you're looking in
the correct log file for finding errors?
You can execute the following to find out:
$ sudo doveadm log find

Thank you for your reply, Stephan.
But did it create the home directory in the new account's mail folder?
e.g. /vmail/domain/user/home?
Because this debug message is exactly similar to what I'm getting:
"Debug: Home dir not found: /vmail//diederik-jan/home"
Ah! I see what you mean now. No, indeed, that home directory is not
created. IMAP doesn't really need it, so it doesn't fail. In contrast,
ManageSieve does fail on that:
