when you deploy a change to a node, it is destroyed and re-created.

Then you either dont have the settings correct or it is unreachable.

Are you using latest Node-RED?

You can also try dynamic connection and disconnect actions while testing. Demo here: [Dynamic MQTT node's "actions-\>connect" guidance needed - #2 by Steve-Mcl](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/dynamic-mqtt-nodes-actions-connect-guidance-needed/58878/2)
