Since this is holding back mariadb-10.3 from entering Debian Testing,
and the transition freeze will start on Jan 14th, could you consider
uploading an intermediate version with autopkgtest disabled or skipped
in some way so that this test passes?
You can then re-enable it once upstream publishes a new version of pam-mysql.
