Your config is wrong. Make sure mysql is listening to the correct IP and port, and make sure the correct IP and port are in the ossec.conf. Also make sure the ossecuser has permission to connect from that host/IP in the mysql database. Mysql also has logging capabilities that may help indicate where the issue is.
