Exim does not have information about the Dovecot internals, so this is
really a question for Dovecot users.
However, I happen to know that at least with Debian's packaging, Dovecot by
default logs to a combination of /var/log/mail.info, mail.err, mail.warn,
and mail.log, depending on your configuration of
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf
So check the settings there, and consider enabling e.g. auth_debug = yes
and auth_verbose = yes, and ask any questions regarding Dovecot auth
debugging on the relevant Dovecot mailing list.
