I have tried every possible step I've come across but the problem doesn't resolve. The error shows:

Have you tried removing the default property from your connect-mongo import? The documentation for the connect-mongo library seems to import MongoStore without it.
// Your import
const MongoStore = require('connect-mongo').default
// Their import
const MongoStore = require('connect-mongo')
//Change your connection as below to fix
//'You must provide either mongoUrl|clientPromise|client in options' error
app.use(
session({
store: MongoStore.create({ mongoUrl: process.env.MONGO_URI }),
...options
})
);
