I encountered the same problem. Some observations:

When I removed mysql rom the group line in nsswitch.conf, then logins by
users from the passwd file on the console (such as root) succeeded.

The problem seemed to be related to the version of libc6 since it
occurred when I updated my debian sid installation which included an
upgrade of libc6 from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2. (But there were many other
packages that were also upgraded.) The problem dissappeared when I
reverted. (All this without touching the mysql server.)
