It sounds strange because the unmodified radiusd.conf does not have authentication, authorization or accounting enabled for sql. I followed your instructions, and rlm_sql_mysql is not started because it has not enabled in radiusd.conf.
Hmmm, maybe I didn't copy the right files over. I'll do it again. and post my configs as well.
