I would create a MySQL stored function. Then call the stored function
from the authenticator eg:

${lookup mysql{SELECT
stored_func_name('${quote_mysql:$1}','${quote_mysql:$2}')}}

The stored function would do both the select and the update and then
return either true or false or the password depending on the
authentication type.

Actually, come to think of it, that's probably overly complicated if
you're not familiar with stored functions. You could also just do it
from the data acl. Something like this:

warn authenticated = *
      condition     = ${lookup mysql{UPDATE foo SET last_access=NOW() 
WHERE email='${quote_mysql:$authenticated_id}'}{true}{true}}


$authenticated_id contains whatever you set it to using server_set_id in
the authenticator.
