The Postfix LMTP delivery agent supports LMTP delivery over TCP
(possibly also with STARTTLS or TLS wrapper mode). This is documented
in the lmtp(8) manpage.
You should not generally set the LMTP recipient limit to 1. LMTP
supports multiple mailbox recipients efficiently, and some
implementations even deduplicate the storage of large attachments sent
to multiple recipients.

I would expect you'd find more examples at the Dovecot Wiki.

It does not matter. The LMTP protocol is the same either way. Just
specify the appropriate endpoint, along the lines of:
inet:[192.0.2.1]:24
or
inet:[some.host.name]:24
Provided LMTP is not chrooted, or if DNS is correctly configured in the
chroot jail, the hostname form may be easier to manage.
