unable to connect to MQTT Broker without using SSL

[bikenbruce]

Hello-
This is my first bug reporting using github, so please correct me if you need more information.

I've been testing out the PyPortal and Matrix Portal to connect with a MQTT broker that is not using an SSL based connection. The basic configuration that I've used is:
client = MQTT.MQTT(
broker='SERVER NAME HERE',
port=1883,
)

and the error that I see is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "code.py", line 94, in
File "adafruit_minimqtt/adafruit_minimqtt.py", line 437, in connect
File "adafruit_minimqtt/adafruit_minimqtt.py", line 235, in _get_connect_socket
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'info'

People have posted this error too on the forums, but I don't believe it has been folded into the code. There's a few suggestions on how to resolve the issue.

Please advise if there's anything that I should do to further help / assist with resolving this issue and contributing to this code.

I really appreciate all the wonderful work Adafruit team does for the community. Thank you!
