Just got the same issue. Performed the following tests, just to get out of this :
- first, install updates from GUI; failed, it hangs forever. I had to kill all apt-get process
- second, apt-get update then apt-get upgrade. After the upgrade, triggers, then the configure mysql-apt-config, but with the console menu.

If  you are not sure which version to choose for yourself, do not change the auto-selected version. Advanced users can always change the version later, depending on their own needs.  Which server version do you wish to receive? 14 208 3 -- mysql-5.6  mysql-5.7-dmr  none 

Then, I tried to kill the menu process (5794) itself : comes back (probably from another process). Then tried the process mysql-apt-configure (5682) without killing neither the process apt-get upgrade nor dpkg (which contained all triggers and the state). Process came with a malfunc, GUI show me the classic "Report bug" window. The next apt-get upgrade does not show me any package, but I think I simply cleaned apt... until next update.
Mysql works fine too.

If it could help anyone...

Title:
  Software Update - mysql-apt-config - can't continue

Status in debconf package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Upon running software updater today, it's tried to update mysql-apt-
  config, and running that has popped up a debconf choice screen (see
  attached).

  However selecting any of the options, pressing the "Forward" button
  does absolutely nothing. Can't close the window, can't continue, it's
  just stuck like that.

  I bet if I restart the machine everything will end up in a broken
  state too! :D
