Tor has already changed to a non-privileged user, but you are trying to bind on ports that only root is allowed to bind on.

Two solutions:

1. Run tor as root (really, a bad idea)
2. Bind to other ports than 80 and 443. Since you are resuming, you are

unlikely to be a stable relay/exit/bridge anyway, so you can basically choose any port you want and just use it for your own traffic only.

3) or just do not Hibernate. Use RelayBandwidthRate to limit your bandwidth utilization instead.
