The official way is to pronounce it "My Ess Que Ell" or pronouncing each of the last 3 letters. But you can pronounce it "My Sequel" as well for all they care.
You can find this information in the OFFICIAL MySQL documentation.

Personally, I like to pronounce it "My Sequel".The official way to pronounce “MySQL” is “My Ess Que Ell” (not “my sequel”), but we don't mind if you pronounce it as “my sequel” or in some other localized way.
