I'm ok with the diagnostic, but I don't understand why ...

I have try to create the mailbox test at mydomain.net and to use the 
virtual domains without success. I need to read more docs on this 
subject to try another time.

Whith the defaultdomain option set to mydomain.net, the authentication 
don't work anymore because it try to authenticate with test instead of 
test at mydomain.net
