So, if I understand well... The real reason of the donation is simply to prevent people who are not serious enough to get hold of free serial numbers and then use it in a bad way, for cheating or any other kind of reason.

No, the only reason for the donation is to help defray the cost of maintaining the site.
The site is run by Ron Miller totally gratis & he's done this for quite some years. IMO Ron is the reason why this community survives.
I'm also not sure that Stars can be considered abandonware since the copyright ownership is unclear (others probably know more about that).

Thus, I am wondering: would a solution be to ask for a single serial number and ask that this particular number would be banned from AutoHost from the very start to prevent cheating? I assume then that anybody downloading the game and using that serial could fully play the game in single player and possibly also host hotseat games. If anybody then discovered that they were serious enough to go thru with the donation they could then go thru the whole process and get a new serial number to play multiplayer games...

Cheating is not really much of a problem in Stars games. Players that would even consider doing it are rare & even then they are usually discovered & penalised heavy.
Hotseat games do work with a single serial number.
