What is in PASSWORD_LOOKUP? It appears that it is failing to complete
for some reason. Have you tried running a debugging test? For example,
with -d and -bh?

If the expansion is forced to fail, authentication fails. I suspect you
may have a syntax error or something similar.

Yes. "Not found" can be turned into a string of your choice, or cause
the expansion to fail. Server error will provoke a temporary error.
