Hi! Sweating or weeping is a sign of transpiration, a process where plants expel excess water through pores on the leaf surface. And you’re right! Mushy leaves is a sign of overwatering. It’s caused by plant cells swelling and then bursting. An easy fix is to do a soil refresh and remove any rotten roots, spraying with hydrogen peroxide

And adjust your watering schedule ofc. Alocasias enjoy bright indirect light and in lower light scenarios they are prone to overwatering

Alocasia have a habit of “crying “  
Or expelling excess water they an not absorb. If you couple that with the mushy new growth my guess would be over watering
