Getting in via ssh kinda defeats the point of the question. Once you use ssh, you are effectively 
accessing mysql from /inside/ the backend machine. This will work even if mysql denies remote access 
for whatever reason.

As others have pointed out, what you are seeing is likely a systemd wrinkle. I have yet to wrestle
