If you are using the special Ubuntu packages for LO and the special connection to a MySQL 8.0-connection please report this bug to Ubuntu.

See https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.2#Base
MySQL C++ connector has been removed and MariaDB C connector is used since LO 6.2 (LGPL).

You database is working without problems with LO directly installed from the packages of LO and MariaDB.

If the direct connector for MariaDB doesn't work well with your MySQL database please use JDBC or ODBC for the connection.
You could get the JDBC connector from here:
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/
You will only need mysql-connector-java-8.0.27.jar for the connection.
The driver should be added in the class path for java (directly in LO).
Connection to the driver will be set by com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
