--authenticationDatabase not overriding authSource in connection uri

      Problem Statement/Rationale

      When using "mongosh --host mongodb+srv://connection string", --authenticationDatabase is not overriding the authSource if authSource is specified in the dns TXT records (guide https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/#dns-seed-list-connection-format)

      We can override this when using mongodb NodeJS driver, but not when using shell.

      Steps to Reproduce

      create a connection seed list with "authSource=admin"

      Expected Results

      --authenticationDatabase "$external" should override the authSource in connection string.

      Actual Results

      Error returns MONGODB+X509  can only have authSource set to '$external'

      Additional Notes

      Applies to mongo and mongosh
