Description

* **asyncpg version**: 0.21.0 and lower
* **PostgreSQL version**: 11
* **Do you use a PostgreSQL SaaS? If so, which? Can you reproduce
the issue with a local PostgreSQL install?**:
* **Python version**: 3.6.0
* **Platform**: linux 3.10.0
* **Do you use pgbouncer?**: No
* **Did you install asyncpg with pip?**: Yes
* **If you built asyncpg locally, which version of Cython did you use?**:
* **Can the issue be reproduced under both asyncio and
[uvloop](https://github.com/magicstack/uvloop)?**:

> We have the same code. When running with useridAAA with password, it works on some servers, but not on other servers. The useridAAA's password is authenticated with md5 on the postgres. If we switch to useridBBB, which is authenticated as SHA256 on postgres. It works on all servers. It's the same password for useridAAA and useridBBB. What's dictating the hash on the password on the client side?

Below is the error message when couldn't be authenticated.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with PostgreSQL 11 using the asyncpg.create_pool or asyncpg.connect entry points shown in the traceback, comparing md5 and SHA256-authenticated users. Read the connection path around asyncpg/connect_utils.py and establish the expected client behavior and a reproducible test case; done means the md5 authentication difference is explained or corrected and verified.
