I had the same problem, so I checked how I disabled it in the first place:

Check your /etc/init/mysql.conf to make sure you don't have start on commented out (like I did).

# MySQL Service

description     "MySQL Server"

author          "Mario Limonciello "

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[016]
...

Rebooted the machine and it works.

$ sudo service mysql status
mysql start/running, process 972
