It seems you’re missing the MySQLdb Python module, for which you should install the mysqlclient Python package: pip install mysqlclient.
On Alpine, pip will build mysqlclient from source, so you’ll need gcc and musl-dev for this setup step, hence you’ll need to postpone apk del build-deps to after Python modules are installed.
Fixed Dockerfile snippet:
RUN apk update \
&& apk add --virtual build-deps gcc python3-dev musl-dev \
&& apk add --no-cache mariadb-dev
...
RUN pip install mysqlclient
RUN apk del build-deps

Mainly you need to install mariadb-connector-c-dev package. But only this package will give compilation errors. So additionally you will need to add gcc and musl-dev packages into Dockerfile. This will make Django and MySQL work within alpine image.
FROM python:3.8-alpine
RUN apk add gcc musl-dev mariadb-connector-c-dev

During this time I explicitly used the following code and it worked:
RUN apk add musl-dev mariadb-connector-c-dev gcc && \
pip install mysqlclient && \
pip cache purge && \
apk del --rdepends --purge musl-dev gcc
But now, 2023.06.25, I found that I had to add mariadb-dev to successfully install mysqlclient.
