You can't use the normal Django with django-mongodb-engine.
django-mongodb-engine requires the Django-nonrel package to be installed, instead of the normal Django, which is several minor versions behind the current release of the official Django (1.10).
If you want to use the official django with MongoDB and be provided with an ORM like layer, your best bet is probably Mongoengine which works with the official version of Django.
