Dovecot stopped working after update

Feb 7 09:57:25 vps18 dovecot: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 116: Unknown setting: managesieve_max_line_length

This seems to me to be the issue, as it's the only "Fatal" error.

This seems to me to be the issue,

Actually reading the error..does help..

Maybe they need pidgenhole on by default now?

No I don't thing so, because I also had 1 server where it was not active and everything was working fine, also after the Dovecot update.
And you can disable it in options.conf so it's not required. Unless this setting also became obsolete.

Show command result

find / -type f -name dovecot -not -path "/home/*" -not -path "/etc/*" -ls

It looks like you have several versions of dovecot installed, or for some reason dovecot doesn't compile properly and dovecot-pigeonhole is still installed.
You can also send the result of the command to be sure:

dovecot --version
