After upgrading to 26.04, it's:

mysql  Ver 8.4.8-0ubuntu1 for Linux on x86_64 ((Ubuntu))

And the 2nd command fails as at least on my system it requires the 
password specified in my config.xml file.  But with such auth:

mysql> SELECT user,host,plugin FROM user WHERE user='mythtv'
     -> ;
+--------+-----------+-----------------------+
| user   | host      | plugin                |
+--------+-----------+-----------------------+
| mythtv | %         | mysql_native_password |
| mythtv | localhost | mysql_native_password |
+--------+-----------+-----------------------+
