The documentation (":help $MYVIMRC") states:

c. Four places are searched for initializations. The first that
exists is used, the others are ignored. The $MYVIMRC
environment variable is set to the file that was first found,
unless $MYVIMRC was already set and when using VIMINIT.

So, $MYVIMRC is set to the name of the file that Vim finds by
searching four particular places, not to the name specified by the
-u option.

However, you can obtain the path of your specified vimrc file by
using expand("<sfile>") within that file.

:help <sfile>
:help expand()
