I may have missed something in the conf file but while using a standard mysql auth method I'm finding many dovecot-auth processing sitting doing nothing. They grow to the extent that mysql runs out of connections after a week.
Do you have more than auth_worker_max_count (default 30) of them? Sounds like it's leaking them for some reason. It should create new ones only when all of the existing ones are being used, and never more than the configured amount. I'm not sure if the created processes die ever though.
I have it commented out (so 30). I had to restart them last night anyway as they have been moved to a new facility. I have adjusted it to 10 as 30 seems excessive for my needs (300 logins per min per server). I will let you know if it happens again.
