"Connect to transport dovecot: No such file or directory:"
Check postfix's master.cf - search for line (transport definition) 
"dovecot" - correct path to dovecot's deliver binaries.

virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail

This setting applies only to postfix virtual transport; as you are 
useing dovecot's deliver -  this setting is not used.
Path to users mailboxes must be defined in dovecot users db. (in your 
case - MySQL database) any settings in postfix configuration are ignored.
