Mup verifies on wrong port

After successful deployment with mup for some time and some updates (not in mup.js) I have the following problem.
I am deploying to port 4000
env: {

PORT: ‘4000’,
}
The deployment goes without errors but in the verification phase I get
x Verifying Deployment: FAILED

Meteor requires Node v12.0.0 or later.

I do not use Port 3000 in mup.js

Here is some info on my environment:
In mup.js:
mongo: {
port:27017,
version: ‘3.4.1’,
servers: {
one: {}
}
},
docker: {
image: ‘abernix/meteord:node-8.4.0-base’
}
deployCheckWaitTime: 120,

System:
Ubuntu 16, mup 1.5.3, Meteor: 1.10.2, node 12.20.0, npm 6.14.8

According to the MUP docs PORT needs to be numeric.

No, I changed the line in mup.js to

PORT: 4000,

and have run mup setup, but the error message remains the same.
