I definitively solved the problem using the MySql Connector 8.0.x and following instructions on this link: https://davidsekar.com/asp-net/mysql-error-the-provider-did-not-return-a-providermanifesttoken.

   2.2. Add/change the provider. It has to be:

   2.3. Connection string now can be server=myservername;port=3306;uid=myaccount;database=mydb;pwd=mypwd123
