Sorry, I have been to hasty. This states that dovecot must be restarted after an upgrade:

Thus, this bug report should be read in a new light: The dovecot package should probably configured to always restart dovecot.service if it is running.

That is the responsibility of the system administrator after performing pacman -Syu.
I am not aware of any package that checks on services it supplies after upgrade and performs restarts or checks configs are still valid etc.
