Not only the .aux files, but all except the originals the .tex and .bib files. Your MWE works perfectly in my TexMaker. Check that your configuration for "Bib(la)tex" (Now I realize where that misleading expression comes from) isbibtex %.aux. If this fail, then try to compile your example without any editor (in the command line prompt) with the correct compiling sequences of that answer. In this answer is explained the difference among bibtex and biblatex and biber and the correct compiling sequence in each case.
