Not a fairy tale, and it was a mule, but he does have an external origin...

Plenty of donkeys in Aesop's fables, too, if those count.

I think it's origin is actually the same as Shrek and Fiona. In the book "Shrek!" there is a donkey that accompanies Shrek to a castle where he meets a princess uglier than him.
