You must have some settings wrong in the config.  
I dont know what to recommend since most of my tests with mongodb were with the local version.  
I havent tested the cloud version before but i followed a similar thread a while back regarding this.  
You can read about it [here](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-connect-mongodb-with-node-red/38620/15) and hopefully get some pointers.

From your last screenshot it seems to be related to "Authentication Failed" .. bad username password .. or not pointing to the correct Database ?
