The problem is that (from connection string spec):

If the username, or password section contains a percent sign ("%"), an at-sign ("@") or a colon (":") it MUST be URL encoded.

If the user information contains an at-sign ("@") or more than one colon (":") then an exception MUST be thrown informing the user that the username and password must be URL encoded.

try with encodeURIComponent()

This is most likely not related to mongoose. It could be the specified HOST parameter that has a malformed URL, or the error is caused by another section of code.
