Since the quoted error message mentions a connection from "127.0.0.1",
it's impossible that it is a reply from a remote server (unless your
networking configuration is completely broken).  Presumably what is
happening is that what you think is a connection to a remote PG server
is actually being made to localhost, and the local PG server's pg_hba.conf
doesn't allow the username and/or dbname.  You could check that by turning
on log_connections on both servers.

As to why that would happen as a consequence of a driver version change,
I'm pretty clueless, but I would wonder about differences in driver config
files or the driver's interpretation of a connection URL.  In any case,
certainly not enough information has been given to diagnose it.
