[ a lot snipped ]

In short: you want to not get the above loggings in the messages syslog
file.

It is not facility cron causing these log entries. You need to exclude
auth.=info to be logged into the messages file. So add

auth.!=info

to the syslog config line for the /var/log/messages target. It may be
clever to direct auth.=info into its own log file.
