What's the output of apt-cache policy zabbix-server-mysql?

Should be:

root@debian12:~# apt-cache policy zabbix-server-mysql
zabbix-server-mysql:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:7.0.3-1+debian12
  Version table:
     1:7.0.3-1+debian12 500

Seems like the main zabbix repo is not installed on your system anymore.

Currently good, somehow my OS doesn't sort the available versions correctly but I can get to the right version.
