In Mexico we often say: Ha sido un placer conocerlo/ la / te.

I often hear used and I use myself with good results, "Que le vaya bien" which means "May it go well for you" which is sort of like "Take care.")

Mucho gusto is more equivalent to pleased to meet you. The above link covers a variety of situations including departures.

From the link:

When it's time to say goodbye, again you've got some polite options, and some more casual options.

Play audio Adiós = Goodbye

Play audio Chau = Bye! (casual)

Play audio Nos vemos = See you (casual)

Play audio Hasta mañana = See you tomorrow

Play audio Hasta luego = See you later

Play audio Hasta la próxima semana = See you next week

Play audio hasta el próximo lunes = See you next Monday

For whatever itis worth, I sometimes use "hasta la próxima vez" not knowing when that will be (until next time) I don't know how native sounding that is, but no one criticizes it. But that does not make it right, as people are polite.

I have heard that the Schwarzenegger "hasta la vista" is not something most native Spanish speakers actually say.

In class when I say "Hasta la vista, baby" in a deep growly voice, à la Schwartzenegger, it gets a good laugh. - Daniela2041, Jan 19, 2017

When he or she says "mucho gusto" the usual reply is "El gusto es mío." When ready to depart one of the following is in order.

Pues, mucho gusto en conocerte (familiar) Mucho gusto en conocerlo/la (formal) followed by:

Hasta la vista/luego/etc, or "Adiós."

Colloquially you will hear "Mucho gusto, ¿eh? But I wouldn't recommend it to a non-native.
