The mysql.sock location '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' attempted to be used by your
connecting client may be wrong.

linux$ ls -la /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

Does the file exist?

You say this is the sock file created by mysqld:
>
> srwxrwxrwx  mysql mysql system_u:object_r:mysqld_var_run_t mysql.sock

So your client would need to connect like so:

linux$ mysql --socket="system_u:object_r:mysqld_var_run_t mysql.sock" --user
=user -p

What OS are you running MySQL on?

-RG
