I'm trying to figure out the exact line to put to /etc/postfix/main.cf

for local lmtp deliver we use:
mailbox_transport = *lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp*

for remote  it is supposed to be:* lmtp:host:port*

yet at the remote  lmtp does not use ports.  UNIX domain sockets are used
instead

so just configure dovecot lmtpd to listen on a TCP port, port 24 is
reserved for that - and don't open the port for any other machine as the
postfix server

[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/services | grep -i lmtp
lmtp            24/tcp                          # LMTP Mail Delivery
lmtp            24/udp                          # LMTP Mail Delivery

and since i answered the same question yet on the postfix list
