This is a regression. You had fixed this before by adding a
proper /home/mythuser/.mythtv file.

You said that another (laptop) frontend worked OK. Just copy
the config.xml file from that host to this one.

Note that the previous suggestion about removing the password
is unusual. The password in the laptop and on the backend is
the one to use.

The previous SHOW GRANTS didn't display a Password. Try this:

     SELECT Host,User,Password FROM mysql.user WHERE User='mythtv';
