Test django with mongomock for django auth models

Question

I'm trying to perform unit tests on Django with db mocking by mongomock.
My connection to the DB is made using settings.py:

DATABASES = {
    'dbname': {
        'ENGINE': 'djongo',
        'NAME': 'db1',
        'ENFORCE_SCHEMA': False,
        'CLIENT': {
            'host': DB_HOST,
            'port': DB_PORT,
            'username': DB_USERNAME,
            'password': DB_PASSWORD,
            'authSource': 'admin',
            'authMechanism': 'SCRAM-SHA-1'
        }
    },
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'djongo',
        'NAME': 'users',
        'ENFORCE_SCHEMA': False,
        'CLIENT': {
            'host': DB_HOST,
            'port': DB_PORT,
            'username': DB_USERNAME,
            'password': DB_PASSWORD,
            'authSource': 'admin',
            'authMechanism': 'SCRAM-SHA-1'
        }
    }
}

and the test looks like this:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class BaseApiTest():
    def test_access_login(self):
        User.objects.create_user(
            username='admin',
            password='admin'
        )
        ....
        self.assertEqual(AccessAttempt.objects.count(), 1)

Here there is an internal connection of Django to the DB. (when its trying to access django.contrib.auth.models.User)
Any ideas?
The goal is to run the tests without a DB instance.
In other words, how can I overwrite the Django connection (self.databases) to the DB using a mongomock connection...
