You are setting the user, not the login class.
You have made a login class _mysql in /etc/login.conf,
but it looks like you may not have that as user _mysql's default
login class. You need to either change user _mysql to be in the
_mysql login class by default, (hint, chfn _mysql as root) OR,
use the su command to start it as otto showed you.
Note as well, that just setting it to use 8192 open
files won't necessarily get you all the way there if the
kernel doesn't have that many configured. You may also need
to increase this if you *really* need that many:
# sysctl kern.maxfiles
kern.maxfiles=1772
