This error is ignored.

The "without error code" most likely just means that Dovecot shut down
before it saw that dovecot-auth exited with error 53.

Some things you could try:

Does Cygwin have strace? Run "strace -f dovecot" to see if it shows
something interesting.

Is the problem with starting dovecot-auth or after dovecot-auth has
already started? Try setting auth_executable = /tmp/test.sh where
test.sh is something like:

#!/bin/sh
echo "i'm running" > /tmp/dovecot.output
exit 0

If that worked, try adding exit(0); as the first statement in
src/auth/main.c's main() function to see if it returns 53 before or
after it reaches that far.
