Mocking database calls without a library?
then just replace whole function, don't generate manually the mock '__') or it would get out of hand fast, you can just use codegen that static typed like https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter

Is this a good way to make sure that a mocked function is called inside the Unit Test?
Yes, that's a good way to do that; there are a lot of packages that allow you to mock and spy the calls if you're looking for one that generates the code for you I can recommend counterfeiter, I also have a short blog that covers it.

Best/Easiest Rest Framework
for dependency injection I suggest you use https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter, but if you using really fast database (that can spawn fast using docker and has fast trx/sec) you can use it directly without dependency injection with https://github.com/ory/dockertest

How do you control behaviour in mocked interface ?
Another alternative to use would be counterfeiter, it generates a type from your interface that could be used as a mock, stub or spy. I wrote a short post covering that tool if you're interested.
