The issue is solved !

Dropbear didn't accept to open a SSH access because the pubkey saved in
authorized_keys in right format !

My mistake is that until now, I used an old version of putty (<0.61) and
the public keys created by PUTYYgen haven't a format identical with
those generated by dropbear:

Yes, PuTTY uses some funny format for its keys, which OpenSSH does not understand, and since dropbear is aiming to be a small-footprint alternative to OpenSSH, nor does dropbear.

There is a function in PuTTYgen that allows you to convert it to an OpenSSH-compatible format, it'll be one of the fields you see when you open a key in PuTTYgen in fact, you just copy it to your clipboard before typing:

$ cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys
{right click to paste clipboard}
