hi, I had a same problem as you before, and I spent much of time on it, but could not get it goal.
And the DATAVASES in settings.py is loaded when the server running. If you can let the project reload the settings, you may resolve the problem. Or you can use MySQLdb to do it. Sometimes we can use using(db) to choice which connection is needed. but the connections must be defined before your app start.
