Your script messed up the returned value. The Command() has the "1" inside it, but it never returned.
You could have figured it out yourself if inspected logs thoughtfully.

I'm confused. Isn't this command writing the reply back using php://stdout?
@fwrite($this->stdout, $message); // We reply ..

You'll have to forgive my level of experience with this. I'm used to PHP browser based scripting, I'm fairly new to using it to write command line scripts.

Other clients experience the same issue.
I can log in just fine using odbc auth.
I am using the script located here http://www.ejabberd.im/check_mysql_php with my own additions to hash the password and check it against a MyBB user database (which is working correctly according to the script logs).

Could you try to login using another client?
Could you try to login using another auth method (to confirm correct client and server configuration)?
Could you confirm that your extauth script follows the specifications?
Could you show the relevant excerpt of ejabberd log in debug level?
