There is no dovecot2 package in the official FreeBSD repository / ports
tree: https://www.freshports.org/search.php?query=dovecot
You have very stale packages on your machines and you didn't read
instructions in UPDATING file of "pkg updating" command:
20170807:
AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot2 and mail/dovecot2-pigeonhole
AUTHOR: adamw at FreeBSD.org
Now that dovecot1 has been removed from the ports tree, dovecot2
and dovecot2-pigeonhole have been renamed to simply dovecot and
dovecot-pigeonhole.
pkg should handle the rename automatically, but if you run into
trouble, you can point pkg at the new origin via:
# pkg set -o mail/dovecot2:mail/dovecot
# pkg set -o mail/dovecot2-pigeonhole:mail/dovecot-pigeonhole
Similarly, you can point portmaster at the new location via:
# portmaster -o mail/dovecot mail/dovecot2
If all else fails, just remove and reinstall the package:
# pkg delete dovecot2
# pkg install dovecot
