I would start looking at the line above and see why
/home/mythuser/.mythtv/config.xml doesn't have the
information needed to access the backend.

This may help: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Config.xml#Troubleshooting

And much like the ping you tried, this is a nice
independent test:

     nmap -p3306,6543 --reason yourBackendAndDbHost

You expect something like this in the response:

PORT     STATE SERVICE REASON
3306/tcp open  mysql   syn-ack
6543/tcp open  mythtv  syn-ack
