Since that process is executing only MySQL queries, it looks like
there's a memory leak somewhere in there.. Would be nice if someone with
more time could take a look at it :)

For example you could try setting

auth_executable = /usr/bin/valgrind --leak-check=yes --num-callers=10 /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth

And after some time send HUP signal to Dovecot, and then it should print
to logs all the leaked memory.
