I had this issue, I use MAMP for MYSQL server. It was a configuration issue that I solved by changing the port to the correct one I found in MAMP instructions, which is 8889. So the correct configuration in my .env file is:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=8889
DB_DATABASE=dbname
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=rootpassword
