System is trying to install mysql-server-5.7 & mysql-client-5.7 instead of MySQL 8.

What should I do to resolve this problem?

I am using Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic)

Try aptitude show mysql-server (presuming third-party repositories been configured and apt-get update run).
In my similar case with Nginx (and now with MySQL installed from .deb), I noticed the correct new version at the top of output, while "Provided by" (much like as "to be installed", as seems to me) packages still showed much older version. Continuing with installation, I received the newest version I was looking for.
I'm, unfortunately, unable to check this on clean OS now..
