The correct configuration of mongodb database in settings:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django_mongodb_engine',
        'NAME': 'your-database',
        'USER': 'your-databaseuser',
        'PASSWORD': 'your-password',
        'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
        'PORT': 'the-port',
    }
}

Django uses dummy if the database ENGINE setting is empty (None or empty string).

and it raise Exception:

ImproperlyConfigured("settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. "
                       "Please supply the ENGINE value. Check "
                       "settings documentation for more details.")

So, your error is caused by setting the ENGINE to django.db.backends.dummy
