I have the same problem and had it not with an elgato docking station.

If I close my macbook pro, the external device works for a couple of seconds and then the login screen appears. I typed in my credentials and it works again for a couple of seconds and the issue repeat.

I do have additional issues now.

If i wake the system after it is in "Screensaver" mode or it went to powersaving mode one or two of the external Display do not wake up with the laptop.
The Turn on and show the wallpaper BUT the pointer is not shown, you can not drag windows there or anything. After like 5 Minutes SOMETIMES one of the displays "wakes up" and is useable again - the other is still "unresponsive" unplugging the USB does not help. i have to pull the power plug of the dock, wait 10 seconds and reboot it.....this is not satisfying.......
