Well, looks like I managed to install it by removing both mysql AND mariadb.
For some reason, whenever I removed mysql-client it was installing mariadb-client and viceversa, anyway I succeeded this way:

sudo apt purge mariadb-client-10.0 mariadb-common mysql-client mysql-client-5.7 mysql-client-core-5.7 mysql-common dbconfig-mysql

This command also installed "dbconfig-no-thanks", which could have helped in bypassing the issue

after that

sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server

Worked!
