Description
I would expect to be able to use the a MultiIndex bar plot with the Matplotlib backend just as with the Bokeh backend. But unfortunately the categories are written on top of each other when using the Matplotlib backend.

```python
import pandas as pd
import hvplot.pandas # noqa
from bokeh.sampledata.autompg import autompg_clean as autompg
autompg.head()
autompg_long_form = autompg.groupby("yr").mean(numeric_only=True).reset_index()
autompg_long_form.head()
autompg_multi_index = autompg.query("yr<=80").groupby(['yr', 'origin']).mean(numeric_only=True)
autompg_multi_index.head()
hvplot.extension("bokeh")
autompg_multi_index.hvplot.bar(width=1000, rot=90)
hvplot.extension("matplotlib")
autompg_multi_index.hvplot.bar(width=1000, rot=90)
```
