In my experience that won't give "-ERR Login failed". Old versions of
Courier would just drop the TCP connection after the 'pass' command; new
versions give a specific -ERR about the Maildir not existing.

It looks like there is a problem with mysql authentication. See what logs
you can find, both from Courier and from mysql. I'm no expert on mysql, but
if you can turn on some sort of query logging that would be very helpful.
Maybe even just 'tcpdump -i fxp0 -n -s1500 -X tcp port xxx" where xxx is the
mysql port will do.
