Only the server needs to access mysql, which doesnt need external access, only in your case for your website if it's not hosted locally, but even then, use the website's IP only, do not ever open to all the world (the port) and allow any IP in the wolrd accessing

basic takeaway: opening the mysql port is extremely dangerous, and you should take every possible measure to ensure only the intended people can access it. A firewall whitelist for that port, plus the mysql accounts restricted to specific ip, plus the root mysql account being localhost only, plus very strong passwords on all of them

even without a specific hacker, there are literally bots that scan for open mysql ports with insecure access so they can ransomware it

You could also use a VPN of some description to access MySQL. I mean like Radmin

also if using a firewall whitelist for the port it might be extra cautious to set up a firewall rule that ensures the incoming request from a specific ip is also being sent back to that ip to prevent any kind of ip spoofing. although i doubt that would happen over tcp
