What about the error message why it dies? Dovecot writes to logs the 
reason why it kills itself when it dies with signal 6.

Debugging these require that you get a core dump to the user's home 
directory (Dovecot logs show what user's process crashed). Setting 
mail_drop_priv_before_exec = yes in config file hopefully does that. 
Then you'll need to get a backtrace from it against pop3 binary.

Also dovecot-auth writes the reason why it crashes to log file.

Sorry, wrong again :) dovecot-auth binary against dovecot-auth.core 
file. pop3 binary against core files created by pop3.

Also your previous backtrace for dovecot-auth was somewhat broken too.. 
Probably because the binaries were stripped. Did you use some binary 
package or compile by hand? Those backtraces would be a lot better if 
the debugging info wasn't stripped away..
