tee is for interactive use, so you'll always see the output if you use
it. You probably want to tell mysql to execute queries from a script
and save the output in another file:
% mysql database_name < inputfile > outputfile
Batch mode changes the default output format to tab-delimited, though.
If you want tabular (table-format) output, use the -t option as well:
% mysql -t database_name < inputfile > outputfile
