I created a new VM with Centos 8 and installed dovecot and postfix.
Postfix is working fine but dovecot rejects connections from anything

Locally

Machine on same subnet.  Windows, Linux, etc.  Doesn't seem to matter

    Connecting To 10.10.100.157...
    Could not open connection to the host, on port 143: Connect failed

I made sure the iptables are empty so it doesn't seem to be a firewall issue
In the host or the VM?
Is teh VM switchted or routed with the LAN interface?

I put some LOG statements in the iptables and it showed the connect
packet arriving and the response packet was ICMP type 3 code 13.
Which make it pretty clear that it has nothing to do with
dovecot as such as that's aresponse from the TCP/IP-stack ...

Any ideas?
Duckduckgo-ing "icmp 3 13" delivers as the 1st link
http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/icmp/msg3.htm and
13 seem to indicate "Communication Administratively Prohibited."

Your turn;-)

CentOS 8 use nftables instead of iptables so first of all try firewall-cmd --list-services
