Error: Authentication failed in mongodb 4.4.4 running in docker - mongodb

Question

I used to run mongodb in docker with this config
~/project/.env file is
# Mongodb common config
CONFIG_MONGODB_PORT=27020
CONFIG_MONGODB_PREFIX=mongodb://
CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_ENABLED=true
CONFIG_MONGODB_USERNAME=alok
CONFIG_MONGODB_PASSWORD=alokm
CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_SOURCE=admin
~/project/docker-compose.yml file is
version: '3.4'
mongodb:
image: mongo:4.0.3
restart: unless-stopped
command: mongod --port ${CONFIG_MONGODB_PORT}
volumes:
- ${HOST_MONGODB_DATA}:/data/db
ports:
- 5010:${CONFIG_MONGODB_PORT}
expose:
- ${CONFIG_MONGODB_PORT}
environment:
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: ${CONFIG_MONGODB_USERNAME}
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${CONFIG_MONGODB_PASSWORD}
To run mongodb
sudo docker-compose up --build
To access mongodb from my laptop
mongo localhost:5010 --password alokm --username alok --authenticationDatabase admin
This all setup used to work fine without any extra setup.
But when I changed mongodb image from mongo:4.0.3 to mongo:4.4.4 and run freshly on another laptop I see
ubuntu#myhost:~/project$ mongo localhost:5010 --password alokm --username alok --authenticationDatabase admin
MongoDB shell version v3.6.8
connecting to: mongodb://localhost:5010/test
Implicit session: session { "id" : UUID("4282986e-eb0b-4a88-8d39-1295192a66e7") }
MongoDB server version: 4.4.4
WARNING: shell and server versions do not match

exception: login failed
Why my this setup is not working in case of image: mongo:4.4.4 like it was working in case of image: mongo:4.0.3?
