Is this possible to use remote Mysql DB with mautic without installing Mysql internally or linking that internal DB to any external remote DB Server (Mysqli, SQL, etc).

I’m using mautic version 3.3, Php 7.3 with centOS 7.

Based on networking concepts, if you can reach the place where the SQL server is hosted from the place the mautic server is hosted via TCP/IP — yes.
