I struggled with this error for a few hours and found out solution that works for me. If you can not delete cache with php artisan config:cache because it throws error after you run it:

[InvalidArgumentException]

Database [] not configured

And if you are sure that your connections parameters are good then try manually delete bootstrap cache config files which are placed in app/bootstrap/cache folder. Hope it helps someone.
