Try to use the option --from-env-file instead of --from-file and see if this problem disappears. I got the same error and looking into the pod events, it suggested that the key-value pairs inside the mysecrets.txt file is not properly read. If you have only one line, Kubernetes takes the content inside the file as value and the filename as key. To avoid this issue, you need to read the file as environment variable files as shown below.

mysecrets.txt:

MYSQL_PASSWORD=dfsdfsdfkhk

For example:

kubectl create secret generic secret-name --from-env-file=mysecrets.txt
kubectl create configmap generic configmap-name --from-env-file=myconfigs.txt
