On one of my servers, Debian 9, there is no output from sshd in /var/log/auth.log. In fact, if I do ag sshd in /var/log, it just doesn't appear. The only thing in auth.log is systemd-logind. In fact, it's suspicous that almost all log messages are from systemd. Only a sporadic few from something else.
