So while I was writing the above reply, I thought of the following.
I will save the password in the DB like this:
username 	|	attribute 				|	op	|	value
<username>	|	Cleartext-Password		|	:=	|	<hashed password>

And then modify the dialup.conf file for the authorize_check_query. So from:
SELECT id, username, attribute, value, op \
          FROM ${authcheck_table} \
          WHERE username = '%{SQL-User-Name}' \
          ORDER BY id

To:
SELECT id, username, attribute, MD5(value), op \
          FROM ${authcheck_table} \
          WHERE username = '%{SQL-User-Name}' \
          ORDER BY id

Should work fine.
