When using Mongo with authentication, you have to connect to the admin database initially. After this you can work with collections in any other databases that you have access to.
I think elmah-mongdb assumes that you want to store the Elmah error logs in the database specified in the connection string though... it would be great if the database could be [optionally] configured separately though so that one database (the admin database) was used to establish the connection to MongoDB but another database was used for error logs.
