This is working fine for me, but you're definitely not the only person
reporting problems involving cyggsasl-18.dll, per
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-October/252386.html

Notably, it's working fine for me, and my local packages are up to date
with my normal mirror, but my mirror is still serving curl 7.85.0-1 as
current.  That suggests a temporary workaround might be to install
7.85.0-1 (or earlier) of any curl packages you have installed.

If the above doesn't help, the standard diagnostics described at the
problem reporting page, particularly the requested cygcheck output,
would be useful:
