On Windows, I could exit MySQL with "exit" or "quit" commands below:

Bye

The method to quit the interactive MySQL shell is \q as per the documentation.

exit on its own will work, but if you were in the middle of a SQL statement it won't, so like:

mysql> SELECT * FROM
    -> exit

This is presumed to be a table name. \q will work instead.
