but on searching mysql-workbench-community

sudo apt-cache search workbench | grep mysql

And

I did manage to install without issues MySQL Workbench 8.0.19 version from an Ubuntu package in Debian Buster, with the command:

sudo dpkg -i mysql-workbench-community_8.0.19-1ubuntu18.04_amd64.deb

First you must download the package from the mysql website:

Just select Ubuntu Linux operating system and 18.04 version (19.10 version had broken dependencies) .

Hope this helps.

MySQL Workbench mysql-workbench has been removed from Debian buster due to a release-critical bug.

It can also be installed from Snapcraft. I haven't used it that much, but apparently it works. First you need to enable snapd:

$ sudo apt update

$ sudo apt install snapd

$ sudo snap install core

Then install MySQL workbench (community edition):

$ sudo snap install mysql-workbench-community

If you want to delete it, simply:

$ sudo snap remove mysql-workbench-community

I was able to install the latest version of MySQL Workbench (as of this writing) on Debian 10 using this method:

sudo apt install ./mysql-workbench-community_8.0.23-1ubuntu20.10_amd64.deb

A couple dependencies were missing so I subsequently ran:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

Just started using it, but MySQL Workbench seems to be running fine. It's also worth mentioning the link below states MySQL Workbench community is not available on Debian, although I'm not sure why this is the case.
