The email address, not the filename, when using an external LDA. It is
up to the dovecot LDA to map the recipient email address to a file name.

See above.

Yes, the LMTP server maps the mailbox email address to a suitable
storage location.

Addresses rewriting before delivery is controlled via virtual_alias_maps,
address rewriting during delivery is only available in the local(8)
delivery agent via alias_maps. If the dovecot LDA is plugged in via
mailbox_transport, you must do the same with Cyrus LMTP or you lose
local alias expansion.

You must be using virtual_transport instead and making the domain a
virtual_mailbox_domain or something similar involing transport overrides.

The virtual_maps setting has no effect when virtual_alias_maps is also
defined.

This looks correct.

There's your problem, don't do this.
