Answer 1

Have you edited your setting in the settings.py file

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'XXXX',
        'USER': 'XXX',
        'PASSWORD': 'XXXX',
        'HOST': 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX',
        'PORT': '3306',
        'OPTION': {
            'init_command': "SET sql_mode='STRICT_TRANS_TABLES'"
        }
    }
}

Is seems that somewhere along the way, djongo changed the structure of the database settings. After wasting days trying to find the solution, I came across a page that had the updated structure, Try setting your DATABASE structure to this:

DATABASES = {
  'default': {  
    'ENGINE':   'djongo',
    'NAME':     'yourmongodb',
    'CLIENT': {
      'host': 'some-host.or.ip',
      'port': 27017,
      'username': 'youruser',
      'password': 'yourdbpass',
      'authSource': 'yourcollection',
    }
  },
}
