Having the same issue here. I have fixed the error by importing it like this:

const MongoStore = require("connect-mongo");

I have no clue if this helps anyone but here you go.

I have the same issue

import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core'
import  session from 'express-session'
import  passport from 'passport'
import 'colors'
import { AppModule } from './app.module'
import { computeHash } from '~server/utils/utils'
import MongoStore from 'connect-mongo';

Use esModuleInterop: truie and change your import like above it’ll fix the issue.
