Cannot create MySQL dbs or users

I think I have an order of operations (or logical) issue in my mysql role tasks file. This is the output I get from vagrant provision:

TASK: [mysql | update mysql root password for all root accounts] ************** 
failed: [vagrant] => (item=ansible-vagrant) => {"failed": true, "item": "ansible-vagrant"}
msg: unable to connect to database, check login_user and login_password are correct or ~/.my.cnf has the credentials

If I move the my.cnf task up above the root password task, I get this error instead:
