Made a blog post with the full set of steps to use a MySQL container with the Mayan container: http://www.mayan-edms.org/post/deploy-mayan-docker-mysql/
In summary you are configuring the Mayan container but are not launching a separate MySQL container. I tried to explain as much as possible in the post starting with some Docker basics. Hope you enjoy it and helps you.
