I have changed this to count=20 on my servers and since then I have not experienced any out of memory issues with auth-workers or the MySQL client.
Did you check if the dovecot-auth processes keep constantly growing? Maybe they're still growing, but since you have 20 of them, they're
just not reaching the maximum limit as fast as with fewer processes?
They don't seem to be constantly growing, not as far as I can tell by
watching the memory usage of a few individual processes.
Also, I notice that with this setting, my machines are actually using
less RAM overall than they were with the default count=1.
