Node app can't authenticate and connect postgres docker container - node.js

Question

So I'm trying to get a node app to connect and authenticate properly to a postgres db running in docker. I'm supposed to run a script that adds data to one of the dbs I add to the container but it's keep throwing this error:
error: password authentication failed for user "myuser"

According to the instructions in the github I'm supposed to create a postgres container using this:
docker run --name "postgres" -e POSTGRES_USER='{add-postgres-user}' -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD='{add-postgres-password}' -p 5432:5432 -d -t kartoza/postgis:12.4
I'm able to connect to it using psql and perform queries on it ok with the password and user I entered. However when I enter the same information in an env file the script reads it fails:
POSTGRES_HOST=172.17.0.2
POSTGRES_PORT=5432
POSTGRES_USER=myuser
POSRGRES_PASSWORD=password
POSRGRES_DATABASE=db_example
I've tried changing POSTGRES_HOST to things like localhost, the container name, 127.0.0.1 but no matter what I change it to it fails. I made sure the db was entered like the instructions said. I'm not sure if it has to do with the host binding of the docker image but I thought the 172 address it runs on is the right one. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 with node 14.16.0.

Thanks to Robert Kawecki, the last two environment variables have typos:
POSRGRES_PASSWORD=password
POSRGRES_DATABASE=db_example
