Description:
We have encountered a replication error after upgrading on MySQL 8.0 when running replication in the MIXED mode (which is default for AWS RDS).

In our application we insert data into a temporary table based on a function result.  For example:

     INSERT INTO temp_table SELECT a_func();

, where a_func() returns a set of values. An attempt to replicate the statement above fails on a slave with a following error when running in the MIXED mode: 

1146 | Error 'Table 'test.temp_table' doesn't exist' on query. Default database: 'test'. Query: 'INSERT INTO temp_table SELECT temp_func()'

How to repeat:
You can reproduce the problem by setting up a master/slave replication, creating some function and trying to insert  the function result into a temporary table.

I have created a complete  test case in the GitHub repository: https://github.com/Alexey1Gavrilov/mysql-replication-bug

Steps to reproduce:
   -  clone the repo
   -  run `docker-compose up`. It will start master and slave docker containers, setup MIXED replication and create a dummy function
   - run `run.sh` script, it will start the replication 
   - the script will create a temporary table and insert a dummy value returned by the dummy function triggering the error and breaking the replication

To my experience the problem exists only on MySQL 8.0 (I've verified on 8.0.16 and 8.0.19). 

A possible workaround is to set the replication mode to 'ROW'.
