What means "MD5 passwords"? Out of the Readme for the pam_mysql Plugin, don't
know if this fits to your version:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
crypt (plain)

    The method to encrypt the user's password:

       0 (or "plain") = No encryption. Passwords stored in plaintext.
                        HIGHLY DISCOURAGED.

       1 (or "Y") = Use crypt(3) function.

       2 (or "mysql") = Use MySQL PASSWORD() function. It is possible
                        that the encryption function used by PAM-MySQL
                        is different from that of the MySQL server, as
                        PAM-MySQL uses the function defined in MySQL's
                        C-client API instead of using PASSWORD() SQL function
                        in the query.

       3 (or "md5") = Use plain hex MD5.

       4 (or "sha1") = Use plain hex SHA1.

md5 (false)

    Use MD5 by default for crypt(3) hash. Only meaningful when crypt is
    set to "Y".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are two possible "MD5 passwords".
