After adding the line to your sources.list you need to run:

sudo apt-get update

...before running the install command.

You are getting the unable to locate package error because you have not added MariaDB to your sources list.

You mention you have tried to add it, but it doesn't work. Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu for details on adding repositories in Ubuntu (which is similar to Mint)
