It looks like the password is getting rejected from the Nagios side. What are you seeing on the error logs on the SQL side?

It could be the special characters in your password, try setting up a check and using the resource.cfg file to save $USER#$ as a variable for your password, and replace that in the service definition's check_command. Take a look at this document -
