That error is intentional and a sign that the deployment was not done correctly. Dimension is deliberately designed to work within the context of a client and not outside of it, and it needs a dedicated access token in its config to avoid issues relating to database consistency.

The config.yaml comment for access_token specifically mentions

The access token Dimension should use for miscellaneous access to the homeserver, and for tracking custom sticker pack updates. This should be a user configured on the homeserver and be dedicated to Dimension (create a user named "dimension" on your homeserver).
