Try replacing your failregex line with this:
failregex = user denied: \S* \((mysql|allow|root|empty)-denied\) from
<HOST>$

It does not use the 'denied' variable (so that line could be removed from
your filter file). It would be better if it was defined with an anchor (and
matching text/variables) at the front of the regex but it is probably good
enough for your purposes, the risk of resulting FPs is small I think.
