Help deploying to Galaxy: Application exited with code: 8 signal: null

UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED. I had a Compose.io database with SSL and that did not work. setup a new deployment and database without SSL on Compose.io and deployed and all is fine.

I am getting error when deploying to Galaxy:
Application exited with code: 8 signal: null

MongoError: Authentication failed.

I have checked carefully my username (galaxy)and password for the database in settings.json:

{
  "galaxy.meteor.com": {
    "env": {
      "MONGO_URL": "mongodb://galaxy:<password>@aws-us-east-1-portal.19.dblayer.com:11208/community-test-server/database"
          }
  }

}

I have checked the compose.io deployment and I can test it successfully:
aws-us-east-1-portal.17.dblayer.com:11674/database gives a proper reply
It looks like you are trying to access MongoDB over HTTP on the native driver port.

I am using Node v0.10.45 and Meteor version 1.3.4.1.

Checked on forums and there is some indication of node compatibilty (requires Node v0.10.43 at least) but this seems OK…

Here is the full log:
