For those who are facing this issue and until a package dealing with it is released, a workaround is reset MySQL root password during install then reenable it:

$ mysql -u root -p

* Enter the following MySQL command:
>SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost=PASSWORD('');QUIT;

* install mtop
apt-get install mtop

* Set MySQL root password to irs previous value:

$ mysql -u root -p
>SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost=PASSWORD('YOURROOTPASSWORD');QUIT;
