From the logs:
2017-04-05T09:46:51.308980Z 2 [Note] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
2017-04-05T09:46:51.334192Z 3 [Note] Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

This appears to be a local configuration/permission issue.

Unfortunately this particular version 5.7.13-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 has been superseded in 16.04. Do you still see this with the current version?
