Issue Dovecot stop restarts many times every day

Every day I receive alerts about imap server problem. Dovecot stops work for 2-3 minutes. In logs I have something like this:

imap-login: Fatal: Error reading configuration: read(/var/run/dovecot/config) failed: read(size=8192) failed: Interrupted system call - Also failed to read config by executing doveconf: /var/run/dovecot/config is a UNIX socket (path is from CONFIG_FILE environment)

I don't know what is the problem source. Maybe too many connections etc.? Could you tell me how to debug this issue?
 
Hello, @MariuszB . Could you please check the dovecot service status and let us know if you see any additional entries:

Code:
systemctl status dovecot.service

As far as I am aware, the issue could be related to the default_vsz_limit, thus, you might try increasing it according to the instructions from this article.
 
Unfortunately problem comes back. This is what I found in maillog:
