Answer 1

Problem solved: apparenty it was caused by a problem/bug in the PHP mongo driver version 1.4

I've upgraded the driver to version 1.6 with:

pecl upgrade mongo

and now the authentication works.

Answer 2

I've had the same problem, in my case I've installed mongo using apt-get

apt-get install php5-mongo

And seems that Ubuntu repositories has still the version 1.4 and hasn't updated the package yet. If you want to install mongo on Ubuntu you should use the pecl option

pecl install mongo

Never use apt-get for installing mongo for php.
