It's seems Plesk repair installation restarts mysql for some reason, maybe MySQL is'nt started up when throughts socket error ?
 
I think there can be at least three problems on the server:

a) Not enough disk space. The "gzip: stdout: Broken pipe" is a symptom for that. Have you checked the directory where the mysql data is located that it has enough free space?
--> Free space on the drive.

b) Many break-in attempts to your MySQL service that use up the maximum number of allowed connections to it so that it leaves no room for more connections (for the Plesk installation routine). The "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)" lines in your log are a symptom for this.
--> View the "threads_connected" variable in MySQL, e.g. "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'threads_connected';", then adapt the /etc/my.cnf configuration with the variable max_connections to a higher value and restart MySQL.

c) A general lack of resources, e.g. disk access handles. This can normally occur on small virtual servers.
--> Increase the system's resources.
 
--> Free space on the drive.
I've problems of space (I'm rising max size of /var partition) but at the moment of error I've 18G of free space, I think It's enough to run the command.
--> View the "threads_connected
running show status LIKE 'threads_connected' (your query gives me an empty result) multiple times gives me values between 20 and 30.
max_connections var is setup at 2000.
--> Increase the system's resources.
Servers is bare metal hardware with xeon 4c/8t , 64GB RAM and SSD disks on /var partition

I think there something more in this error because command has work in the past, and other repair commands works without error, also Plesk db.
PS: I' will try rebooting system.

thanks for you help.
