I'm running rc6
The user_attrs = uid=user alone isn't doing the trick

I also tried changing
default_mail_env = maildir:/home/exim/%n/.maildir
to
default_mail_env = maildir:/home/exim/%u/.maildir

dovecot.conf:
listen = [::]
disable_plaintext_auth = no
ssl_disable = yes
default_mail_env = maildir:/home/exim/%u/.maildir
namespace private {
  separator = .
  prefix = INBOX.
  inbox = yes
}
mail_debug = yes
first_valid_uid = 0
protocol imap {
}
protocol pop3 {
}
protocol lda {
  postmaster_address = postmaster at example.com
}
auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@
auth_verbose = yes
auth_debug = yes
auth_debug_passwords = yes
auth default {
  mechanisms = plain
  passdb shadow {
  }
  passdb ldap {
    args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
  }
  userdb passwd {
  }
  userdb ldap {
    args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
  }
  user = root
}
dict {
}
plugin {
}


dovecot-ldap.conf:
hosts = localhost
auth_bind = yes
auth_bind_userdn = cn=%n,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com
ldap_version = 3
base = ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com
scope = subtree
user_attrs = uid=user
user_filter = (&(objectClass=uidObject)(cn=%n))
user_global_uid = mail
user_global_gid = mail
