I am far from an expert but I believe that the dn.children line you have does
grant worldwide read access to everything below dc=company,dc=com
I had similar problems to yours and i eventually added rules like this:
access to dn.one=""
by * read
access to dn.one="dc=com"
by * read
and then the user authenticating already had some access to dc=company,dc=com.
Once I did that, things started working the way I hoped.
