I reply to you on debian-user-french yesterday

fwlogwatch.service use /lib/systemd/system/fwlogwatch.service
which use conf file /etc/default/fwlogwatch
and if START_DAEMON is not "true" it does exit 1
So you just need to put in /etc/default/fwlogwatch
START_DAEMON='true'

Did you check the right file /etc/default/fwlogwatch ? What version do
you have ? Provide us :
dpkg -l fwlogwatch

I don't know where you find "/etc/fwlogwatch.config"
in this script I found :
CONFIG=/etc/default/fwlogwatch
