If you go to System > Preferences > Startup Applications, is mysql listed there, and is it checked? If so, uncheck it, and that should stop it from loading on startup. If not, we'll have to dig deeper.

It's started by upstart. I don't know if there's a more effective or better way, but you can use sysv-rc-conf (from the package of the same name) to turn it off in whatever runlevels you want to.
