That's exactly the explanation what I was looking for. I incorrectly assumed that more than just MySQL is affected. But it appears like other services do not care about the reverse resolution of 127.0.0.1. Thank you for your explanation and the references. I'm maintaining a tutorial for setting up mail servers on Debian. And I wanted to tell the readers the correct way to handle these MySQL authorization problems.
