I wouldn't perform an extra query just to encode the password.

MysqlAuthPlugin::authenticate($username, $password) {
  /**connect to mysql table */
  mysql_query("SELECT host FROM user WHERE user='$username' AND
password=PASSWORD('$password')"); //Need to be mysql_escaped for any
real use

  /* Iterate checking that at least one host matches the user one
     Or simply check that some row was returned, in which case
     you can add a LIMIT 1.
  */
}
