Thanks for your tip regarding the busy network.
I am using a one year old Cisco Catalyst 2960S (WS-C2960S-48TD-L) with cat6e
cables and my network should not be overloaded as far as I know. My mailbox and
mail proxy servers are on two different virtual machines on two different
servers. It could be possible that it is something with the virtualization but
my other VMs do not have any connection time outs or anything. I will keep on
searching on the network side.

my interpretation:
a) you have a very very bz network ... the other end cannot respond to incoming
requests
even if your network is NOT bz, eg, no collision blinking on your
hubs/switches,
you are still having network problems
b) if all of your dovecot tests is on one host ... disconnect it from the
network
and see if dovecot's auth finishes its tasks
c) to clean up your network ...
- use switches ... not hubs .... even inexpensive netgear switches is good
enuff
- use good 3-6' cat6e cables ... we'll assume the bldg's wiring is done to
bldg specs
- my guess, you're probably having cabling problems )
- separate slow devices from faster devices
eg. separate printers onto its own network with a switch
in between printers and everybody else
- separate 10/100 devices from gigE devices ... do not mix them up on the
same switch/hub
