yes :(
the server is hard-coded to use built-in plugins when the standard mysql
authentication is used.

I think so, yes. Your plugin should to declare that it needs
"mysql_native_password" plugin on the client side.

Then the server will notice that the client already uses
mysql_native_password plugin and will only reinitialize the server part
of the authentication without client noticing anything.

Tell me if it'll work :)
