I don't run mysql_secure_installation but have the credentials stored in
/root/.my.cnf only, as suggested in various web howtos.

for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
Think the reason is the mariadb.service has
ExecStartPost=/etc/mysql/debian-start which then calls mysqlcheck then looks in
/etc/mysql/debian.cnf for the password which is not present.
Given that debian-start is from the same era as
mysql_secure_installation perhaps that routine needs looking at also?
What would be the current best practice, using /root/.my.cnf or
/etc/mysql/debian.cnf?
