I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say…

The MTA (Postfix) should authenticate itself with a TLS client certificate when 
it connects to Dovecot via LMTP. Dovecot (the LMTP server part) should verify 
the client cert against a CA certificate before allowing a client to deliver 
mail via LMTP. 

According to 
<https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/core/summaries/settings.html#auth_ssl_require_client_cert>:

    If yes, authentication fails when a valid SSL client certificate is not 
provided.

… but in my case it doesn't fail, although it should.

Nothing in there says anything about SSL, TLS, or client certificates, so I 
don't know what point you're trying to make here.
