While chasing a postfix (version 3.5.9) to dovecot authentication issue,

As expected and documented. Dovecot is only available in the SMTP
server as a verifier, it does not implement the client side of SASL
authentication. There is no problem here.
I'm grasping at straws at this point. Certainly more reading is in
order, but AFAICT, I've followed the documentation at dovecot and
postfix exactly (always problematic for me to some degree these days)
yet still find that some users authenticate and some do not. I can
connect without issue to all the dovecot mailboxes, using Thunderbird as
the email client, but can only receive mail for a few, the rest being
rejected.
Those that do not are rejected as unknown user, by postfix side
apparently. For the rejected users, on the dovecot end (while tailing
logs) nothing is seen when attempting to send (to postfix from another
box), while dialog is seen for the accepted users using the same means.
Seems likely that to make progress, I will need to post the various
configs, but hesitate to add clutter and annoy anyone.
