This was usually just causing confusion, so it's no longer used by default.

Was dovecot-lda also used without -d parameter before? The intention was to use
$HOME environment here? I suppose that change was somewhat accidental, but I'm
not sure I want to add it back.
for dovecot-lda
setting "mail_home = /home/%{user|username}"
helped but still ...
Alternative could have been to use dovecot-lda -o mail_home=$HOME
Moreover I found that doveadm does not work when dovecot is stoped
(but
used to work in 2.3.x)
Probably now that you're using -u parameter, so it does a userdb lookup from
auth process? If you use --no-userdb-lookup it works as before.
Another thing is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
in 2.3.x configuration it created line like this:

but now it does not work (what is strange I cannot find %$

and %m is described as "mechanism" not message id ...)
So how can I have old loggin and authentication mechanisms?
https://doc.dovecot.org/main/core/summaries/
settings.html#deliver_log_format describes the available variables for this
setting. Looks like you're using the default value, so you could just comment
it out.
