MySQL spatial support lacks of many critical features, including
projections and other basic functions. I have tried to use it in
couple of projects with similar requirement, but found that changing
requirement to use PostGIS turned out to be easier solution.

 If you still really want it, I would use osm2pgsql to import data to
postgis, then export Shapefiles from it and import them using some
shape to mysql script. In theory ogr2ogr should enable also direct
postgis>mysql conversion.

 If you need direct tool and can write Python then try to edit
http://imposm.org/docs/imposm/latest/. Mysql and postgis
insert-statements should follow same standard, in theory at least it
should not be too complicated.
