If after enabling the TCP connection and still your configuration is not working. Here's my own-configuration.

var config = {
    "user": 'admin',
    "password": 'password',
    "server": 'ALBERT-PC',
    "database": 'database_name',
    "port": '61427',
    "dialect": "mssql",
    "dialectOptions": {
        "instanceName": "SQLEXPRESS"
    }
};
