2021/10/22 17:50:01 [data_source]: Failed to connect to mysql server, reason: Access denied for user 'gromm'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
what this shows is that (whatever service you are using) is not using password authentication. Since it is assumed the user "gromm" has a password (btw: not a default user created by the appliance), it is not trying to use the password for the authentication.
Maybe some (incomplete) though misconfigured postfix file trying authentication without password in your setup?
