The problem for me was that systemd does not know how to stop mysql
I had to add

|ExecStop=/usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf 
shutdown in the systemd mysql unit file |

The problem went away after purging and installing again mysql-server 
and mysql-server-5.6 packages.


The problem returned back as soon as the file 
/etc/mysql/mysql.d.conf/mysqld.cnf was edited and line "log_error = 
/var/log/mysql/error.log" was commented out in order to allow logging to 
syslog as mysql suggests.
