I think you're maybe a bit confused about what exactly LAMPP provides. If you're going to use phpmyadmin, you might want to re-think going for Django in the first place. Django provides a much more tailored admin interface than phpmyadmin will give you (although the latter is great for custom SQL, etc.)
Django can use any MySQL DB and providing that when LAMPP starts the mysql server it will accept connections from the python mysql driver (and I see no reason for it not to), it should be as simple as making sure you have the driver installed and specify mysql in the setting file. To be honest, I'd throw LAMPP away and install mysql properly (or even postgres). LAMPP is great for getting started, but I don't think it's a great idea to mix it with Django. You will also find that it is not recommended to run python and php projects together in Apache due to the greatly different memory profiles.
