      1. What would you like to communicate to the user about this feature?
      2. Would you like the user to see examples of the syntax and/or executable code and its output?
      3. Which versions of the driver/connector does this apply to?

      See COMPASS-5801 and MONGOSH-1052:

      Connecting to a connection string like "mongodb+srv://hostname/?authMechanism=MONGODB-X509&tls=true&tlsCertificateKeyFile=filename" fails with "[object Object] can only have authSource set to '$external'", where obviously "[object Object]" is not what this should really say.
