As indicated by your apt policy perl perl-base output, and pointed out by jordanm, your system has the Buster version of Perl, not the Debian 9 version. So your system isn’t really a “fresh install†of Debian 9.5; and since Perl is such an important component of a Debian setup, it’s likely there are many other packages which have been upgraded to the Buster version.
This Perl mismatch is the reason you can’t install the MySQL packages.
I’ll assume this is a recent installation and therefore you don’t have too much invested in it; so jordanm’s recommendation to re-install is probably the best solution in this case. Debian 9 and Buster have diverged quite a bit, so rolling back could become rather complicated, especially since you’ve upgraded Perl. Removing mc certainly won’t be sufficient.
In future, don’t mix stable and testing. If you run into a bug which prevents you from using a package, file a bug (reportbug mc); if it’s severe enough it could qualify for a stable update. You could also ask for a backport; that would get you the current Buster version of mc, rebuilt for Debian 9.

I’ll assume this is a recent installation and therefore you don’t have too much invested in it; so jordanm’s recommendation to re-install is probably the best solution in this case. Debian 9 and Buster have diverged quite a bit, so rolling back could become rather complicated, especially since you’ve upgraded Perl. Removing mc certainly won’t be sufficient.
In future, don’t mix stable and testing. If you run into a bug which prevents you from using a package, file a bug (reportbug mc); if it’s severe enough it could qualify for a stable update. You could also ask for a backport; that would get you the current Buster version of mc, rebuilt for Debian 9.

As indicated by your apt policy perl perl-base output, and pointed out by jordanm, your system has the Buster version of Perl, not the Debian 9 version. So your system isn’t really a “fresh install†of Debian 9.5; and since Perl is such an important component of a Debian setup, it’s likely there are many other packages which have been upgraded to the Buster version.
This Perl mismatch is the reason you can’t install the MySQL packages.
