Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

I see the following messages in the mysql log file:

2019-11-01T08:12:31.317917Z 0 [Warning] [MY-011068] [Server] The syntax 'expire-logs-days' is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please use binlog_expire_logs_seconds instead.

From https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/added-deprecated-removed.html, we can see that the config option query_cache_limit was removed in 8.0.3:
"""
 query_cache_limit: Do not cache results that are bigger than this. Removed in MySQL 8.0.3.
"""

That option is used by default in disco's /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf file, and removed on a release upgrade to mysql 8. I just did such a test. But you have it in /etc/mysql/my.cnf, I wonder if the upgrade procedure looks at that file.

In any case, I suggest to remove this option from your configuration and then try to finish the upgrade:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -f install
