I found the problem. I hashed the line 'userdb passdb {'
so it looks like this now 

  # vpopmail
  userdb vpopmail {
  }

  # "passdb" user database means that the passdb already provided the
  # needed information and there's no need to do a separate userdb lookup.
  # This can be made to work with SQL and LDAP databases.
  # http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthSpecials
  ## userdb passdb {
  ## }

The upgrade script probably defunct the original dovecot.conf. 
I'll post this to the maintainer.
