Answer 1

Just as on FYI to others suddenly experiencing this on an otherwise (previously) working Laravel installation:

My Laravel environment is on a Ubuntu VirtualBox hosted on a Win-10 laptop.

I used my phone to share Internet via USB and suddenly started experiencing this issue. I changed to using the phone as wireless hotspot and the issue went away. This is a nameserver/networking issue and is not specific to Laravel or MySQL.
