This is not related to ADODB but rather to usage of the obsolete PHP
function named "mysql()" in Typo3 (probably, not in typo3 core but in
extensions). This function will use the last opened connection. As soon
as you connect to the external database, everything stops working...

I fall into the same problem two moths ago (asked about it here too).
The only workaround is to re-open connection to the typo3 database.
