Spring Data MongoDB connection to Mongo Atlas throws 'no SNI name sent, make sure using a MongoDB 3.4+ driver/shell' error

I started a fresh new Kotlin + Spring Boot project. In here I'd love to connect to my Mongo Atlas cluster via Spring Data MongoDB.

I setup the configuration that is quite simple via application.properties (placeholders were defined):

spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb+srv://backend:<password>@my-cluster.kluqx.gcp.mongodb.net/<db_name>?retryWrites=true&w=majority&authSource=admin

The problem:

The following exception is thrown when the app is starting:

Caused by: com.mongodb.MongoCommandException: Command failed with error 8000 (AtlasError): 'no SNI name sent, make sure using a MongoDB 3.4+ driver/shell.' on server my-cluster-shard-00-02.kluqx.gcp.mongodb.net:27017. The full response is {"ok": 0, "errmsg": "no SNI name sent, make sure using a MongoDB 3.4+ driver/shell.", "code": 8000, "codeName": "AtlasError"}
at com.mongodb.internal.connection.ProtocolHelper.getCommandFailureException(ProtocolHelper.java:175) ~[mongodb-driver-core-4.0.5.jar:na]
...

My tries so far:

• I downloaded a new JDK 11 to be sure I have the proper base (from: https://jdk.java.net/java-se-ri/11) and by suggestion of this thread (MongoCommandException: Command failed with error 8000 (AtlasError): 'no SNI name sent, make sure using a MongoDB 3.4+ driver/shell.')
• I changed to JDK 1.8 just to try things
• I changed the mongourl style (between then driver 3.6 and above) - did not help
• I saw in this question How to connect Mongodb Atlas to Spring that someone used the non-starter dependency for spring boot. However this did not automatically detected by mongo stuff which is not how I wanted to develop this
• I tried to debug what the mongo driver is doing but... meh had no idea what is going wrong

These are my dependencies regarding to this task:

java.sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8

    kotlinOptions {
        freeCompilerArgs = listOf("-Xjsr305=strict")
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
}

EDIT 1: My drivers are the following according to Gradle:

org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-core:4.0.5
org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-sync:4.0.5

You also can see that in the exception mentioned above where the stacktrace is related to ~[mongodb-driver-core-4.0.5.jar:na]
