Here's the output of mysql_secure_installation:

[root@webserver~]# mysql_secure_installation

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB
root user without the proper authorisation.

You already have a root password set, so you can safely answer 'n'.

Change the root password? [Y/n]
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!

By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n]
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
... Failed!
Cleaning up...

I did not set any variables in my playbook regarding mysql. Playbook had been running several times without errors. I didn't have this problem, when installing mysql/mariadb without ansible/awx.

Any help?

Since MariaDB 10.4 / MySQL 8.4, the root mysql user is configured to use
`unix_socket` instead of password authentication. No password is privisioned
at MariaDB installation time for the root user.

Using socket authentication is recommended and considered a good security
practice.
