HELP! mysql-server broken on FreeBSD 13 Release p12

During a recent pkg upgrade, pkg uninstalled my mysql server.  I saw that,
but I figured
that some other thing had happened so I'd still have mysql running.  HAH!
I rebooted the machine last night, and the running instance of
mysql80-server
obviously disappeared.

I installed mysql84-server, but it fails, and mysql-client complains:
ERROR 1524 (HY000): Plugin 'mysql_native_password' is not loaded
The fix for this seems to involve having a running mysql server.

I tried installing mysql80-server, which is what was running before.
Install happened,
but running it fails silently.  Running from a shell (as opposed to from
/usr/local/etc/c.d/mysql-server) just fails with no output to terminal, no
running server.

How do I get mysql running again?

Thanks,
Bill Dudley
