89 is a generic exit code meaning that Dovecot should have logged something before exiting.

If you can't find anything from existing logs, try setting log_path = /tmp/dovecot.log and see if it logs anything in there?

Oh, actually the other possibility is that it wrote the error to stderr, and launchd simply doesn't write it anywhere? What if you run dovecot -F from shell directly?

You're right... nothing written to log, but starting from shell...

G518X2:~/Library root# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot -F
Fsetregid(65534,6) failed with euid=0: Operation not permitted
Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf

Here's the stanza from dovecot.conf

# Group to enable temporarily for privileged operations. Currently this is # used only for creating mbox dotlock files when creation fails for INBOX.
# Typically this is set to "mail" to give access to /var/mail.
mail_privileged_group = mail
