Research direction

No source file or test is identified. Start by reproducing the connection failure with asyncpg 0.20.1, PostgreSQL 12, Python 3.7.4, and CentOS 8, then inspect the PostgreSQL authentication configuration and the reported exception. Done requires determining whether the failure is in asyncpg or the server setup, but the issue does not define a code change.
