postfix delivers to the user, and I don't do lmtp authentication, I
just submit the email from postfix to lmtp.
I'm not even sure how you can use lmtp authentication to verify a
delivery address, normally when postfix uses lmtp the email was
accepted, and therefor would generate a bounce.
I can't find anything that wouldn't bounce using lmtp, in postfix or
dovecot documentation.

And then for users, you just alias them to themselfs. Then everything
exists in the alias table, and postfix knows all valid users, cause
they all exist in the alias table.
I just think of it as, user accounts, and email addresses that map to
the user accounts.
So you're not using LMTP authentication to verify that Postfix is trying
to deliver to a valid user? I though that's what it was for.
In your setup, 'who' does Postfix try to deliver to, then? The 'real'
user, after figuring out and remapping any aliases to it? Or to the
alias, and then Dovecot does the remapping?
