Maybe I'm missing some part of the configuration. I don't have a
service auth { part and the auth_socket_path is commented out. Here is
my full config:

It should be connecting to auth-userdb. You probably have
auth_socket_path changed. You could just comment it out.
The second part is that you most likely have to change auth-userdb
socket's permissions as well. From example 10-master.conf:
service auth {
# auth_socket_path points to this userdb socket by default. It's typically
# used by dovecot-lda, doveadm, possibly imap process, etc. Its default
# permissions make it readable only by root, but you may need to
relax these
# permissions. Users that have access to this socket are able to get a list
# of all usernames and get results of everyone's userdb lookups.
unix_listener auth-userdb {
#mode = 0600
#user =
#group =
}
So probably just set "user = vmail" there.
