You need to create first your mysql database and then configure your settings as:

 DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': '<your_db_name>',
        'USER': '<your_username_in_db>'
        'PASSWORD': '<your_password_to_access_db>',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '3306'
    }
}

Note: Before you run the mirations and migrate you need to create a mysql database, after that run the migrations python manage.py makemigrations and then migrate the database python manage.py migrate
