Hi,
thank you for taking time to report this.

Relevant lines are:
Ago 08 10:40:33 hostname /etc/mysql/debian-start[2356]: /usr/bin/mysql_upgrade: the '--basedir' option is always ignored
Ago 08 10:40:33 hostname /etc/mysql/debian-start[2356]: Looking for 'mysql' as: /usr/bin/mysql
Ago 08 10:40:33 hostname /etc/mysql/debian-start[2356]: Looking for 'mysqlcheck' as: /usr/bin/mysqlcheck
Ago 08 10:40:33 hostname /etc/mysql/debian-start[2356]: Version check failed. Got the following error when calling the 'mysql' command line client
Ago 08 10:40:33 hostname /etc/mysql/debian-start[2356]: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
Ago 08 10:40:33 hostname /etc/mysql/debian-start[2356]: FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed

Could you explain us the steps that led to this and provide the content of /var/log/mysql:
$ sudo cat /var/log/mysql/*
