If you are using the Windows-native build of the mysql client, then
there is no way to fix this. That build of the client expects to have a
real Windows console which mintty and rxvt are unable to provide. If
there is no mysql package in the Cygwin repository, have you tried to
see if Cygwin Ports has a Cygwin-native build which will work for you?
