If your issue is not able to remotely connect with MySQL on Raspberry Pi, then try below steps. I had the same issue and got it resolved by performing below commands.

1) sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

2) # bind-address = 127.0.0.1 // comment this line out

bind-address = 0.0.0.0          //add this line just below above line 

3) sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart //restart mysql

4) sudo mysql -u root -p //login to mysql cli as user 'root'

5) GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'beta' WITH GRANT OPTION;

Here 'root' is the mysql user and 'beta' is the password and here privileges are set for 'root'.Change it accordingly and execute above query in mysql cli.

Good Luck !!!
