Here’s the dovecot -n output

userdb {

 default_fields = uid=vpopmail gid=vchkpw mail_location=/usr/local/virtual/%u 
mail=maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%u

looks like this mail_location is confusing Dovecot. If you wanted to specify "home" here, be aware that home and mail location should (aka must) be separate directories.

 driver = sql
