If anything at all: default accounts must be deleted or secured with passwords.
Ok, bare with me awhile, but ... why? Or are you securing against
users who turn off their firewall?
Because with a firewall up, an attacker would need to already have
access to the machine... in which case having passwords on MySQL is
useless.
Installing mysql-server does not open your firewall.
