I really enjoyed twiki with some custom plug-ins when we used it at Adobe. We got significant use out of the excel integration from the managers who are chart happy.

I have no idea about MySQL integration.

There seem to be VERY few wikis that don't kind of suck for the handling of images. In fact, wikipedia is shockingly bad at how you have to know in advance to upload images or totally break a normal workflow to go upload them in another window just to get images in to your edit. If you find some flavors of wiki that work well in this area I'd like to see your results!

Mediawiki (the one backing wikipedia) is arguably the most mature wiki. it has a boatload of add-ons that you can easily add and configure that add all kinds of security options (which I consider most of your requirements to be).
