Indeed, it looks like 192.168.0.36 has not been assigned (yet?) to the interface. Do you use /etc/network/interfaces or systemd-networkd for interface configuration? Can you provide the contents of /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/systemd/network/* respectively? Also, can you please provide the output of systemd-analyze dot dovecot.service network.target As a workaround you could either use non-local binds (echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_nonlocal_bind) or bind to the wildcard address (0.0.0.0) if that's okay with your setup.
