(Get the code!)
Actually plugin interface has a flag which indicates if plugin support SET PASSWORD. Since PAM doesn't support SET PASSWORD by design this flag is not set.
ALTER TABLE IDENTIFIED WITH expires password as per doc.
When password is expired and SET PASSWORD is not supported by plugin, server simply disabling the user. I have not found related documentation, but it is what behavior is.
Server doesn't allow ALTER USER PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER on such user. I am not sure about the reason. Might actually be upstream bug.
