OK, I should have been more exact:
To send mails you need a "smtp-server" (MTA - Mail Transfer Agent, Message Transport Agent) like postfix, exim, sendmail, ...

DoveCot is good for "reading" mail (="mailbox management", "pop3(s)", "imap(s)"). You cannot send mails using DoveCot. (You can use a WebMailService to access DoveCot for reading and a MTA for sending mails.)

So you have to find out, which MTA you installed (you have root access, don't you) and configure it.

But this is (like so often) becoming extremely offtopic.
