I just created a new user in mysql and let it fill in the plug-in field itself. 'caching_sha2_password' ... I didn't specify it, it defaulted to it. CREATE USER 'newusername'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';. Then GRANTed permissions. The same as you do when setting up a user the first time. Then changed the username in the config.php. I'm sure there's a more elegant solution but .. hey ho

Did you resolve this? I wrestled with it today. I think it was a MySQL docker update and 'mysql_native_password' not loading.. as its no longer supported or its deprecated. Go into the console and run ./occ and see if you get a mysql error. I added a new user in mysql, same password, same privileges (different plugin) ... and changed the username in the config.php .. back in business.
