The first two things that come to mind are AppArmor, and systemd unit
files.

Check to see whether there's an AppArmor profile for this program, or
any lines from AppArmor in dmesg.

If that's not it, look at the systemd unit file(s) that start the
dovecot service(s), if there are any, and see if they're using any of
the directives that restrict the locations the program can access.
