That looks correct. Does it work, if you login using telnet? I assume
no.

I think you cannot say ~, because that will look into the "mail" (or
"imap"?) users $HOME only. To use the users home put a %u into the
path. (I didn't test that. If it doesn't work, have a look at the
docs. The example dovecot.conf tells you how to do it in the comments
above mail_location.)
HTH,
