No, you can use the system-installed version:

$ bpkg drop libodb-mysql
$ bpkg build libodb-mysql ?sys:libssl ?sys:libcrypto

In fact, you may want to use system-installed libmysqlclient:

$ bpkg build libodb-mysql ?sys:libmysqlclient

The installation instructions that I linked to actually cover
this.

1.1.1+16 is actually 1.1.1n: https://cppget.org/libssl
