Based on documentation, perhaps mysql_set_character_set() can do that.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/c-api/8.0/en/mysql-set-character-set.html
Attached is patch 20230417-mysql-charset-patch.txt that adds a
"charset" parameter to the Postfix MySQL configuration file.
I don't have a MySQL testbed; someone else would have to test this,
or this would have to wait until I have time to set up MySQL.

It is possible to distinguish between errors without having tp
restructure code.
Attached is patch 20230417-mysql-retry-patch.txt that more selectively
backs off from a server connection.
Again if someone else can test this, great, otherwise this will
have to wait.

server only if the last error was caused by connection-level
failure. File: global/dict_mysql.c.
