Answer 1

In your mysql console change your sql_mode (eg for global change)

 SET GLOBAL sql_mode = 'NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION';

but before change read carefully https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/sql-mode.html

Answer 2

3) located file /etc/mysql/my.cnf and tried to change setting there, but didn't find any sql mode info

If you do not have any sql mode set in the file, just add new line:

sql_mode="NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
