Don't know why SIGTERM doesn't work.
Have you tried 'SIGQUIT' ? It should also cleanly shut down mysqld.

I think this is an OS X issue, but haven't had time to test this.

One workaround you can do is to save the password in a protect file
only accessable by you and then do:

mysqladmin --defaults-file=path-to-your-password-file shutdown

The path-to-your-password-file should contain

[client]
password=xxxx
