I guess the $user is 'me' (as stated in pgbouncer.txt) and the password
corresponds to pgbouncer.txt (i.e. when MD5-hashed the result is equal
to the value in the file).

No. The user is "created" by listing the username/password in the auth_file.

You need to put the pgbouncer user name (as listed in the auth_file).
The password has to be the actual value, not the hash. Otherwise it'd be
equal to auth_type=plain.
