Without having spend a lot of time checking, this appears to be correct 
to me. To get more confidence, is the failure of the autopkgtest only a 
*test* regression, or is this also impacting regular use cases for 
users? In the latter case, the Breaks and versioned Depends are 
appropriate. In the former case I can get the tests to be scheduled to 
use both packages from unstable. (And I wonder the same about the other 
autopkgtest failures triggered by dovecot).

For avoidance of doubt, if we think these are only test failures and not 
user facing failures, I rather avoid further upload before things 
migrate to testing.
