with version 0.21.8, mpd gained a _user_ mpd.socket unit, which defines

    ListenStream=%t/mpd/socket
    ListenStream=6600

and is enabled by default. My feeling is that this is responsible for
your observed differences between using systemctl and manually launching
mpd. Did mpd.socket get stopped/restarted in your testing?

HTH,
