I had setup another instance only for MySQL server.
This is overall what I did to setup my remote access for MySQL:
Configure
vi /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
bind-address=SQL-SERVER-IP
# skip-networking
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
Allow firewall ports
sudo ufw allow 3306/tcp
sudo ufw allow 3306
sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp
sudo ufw allow 8080
sudo service ufw restart
Grant access to remote IP address
mysql -u root -p mysql
GRANT ALL ON foo.* TO root@'SECOND-INSTANCE-SERVER-IP' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
exit
Test it
mysql -u root -h 'SECOND-INSTANCE-SERVER-IP' -p
Error produced:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘SECOND-INSTANCE-SERVER-IP’ (110)

for people that are using a cloud vm such as (azure,google,amazon) you should add the 3306 port to your vm from your portal settings then from your firewall
hello @longsookeat I don’t know if this is too late but this is how I solved mine
I set up two droplets. one for MySQL server and another for ubuntu 18 where I access the MySQL database from.
On MySQL server droplet, I set up a user root@‘public-IP-for-ubuntu-18-droplet’ and grant full access to the database’. Then allow firewall port as you did on MySQL server droplet and change the bind-access to 0.0.0.0.
And ongoing back on my ubuntu droplet login and simply remotely access my database ==> $ MySQL -u root -h ‘MySQL-server-droplet-public-IP’ -p
