MySQL Connector/C++ 8.0.22 my app release build ok, debug build asserts TLS versions error

[Rand O]

TLS and application security in general are well outside my areas of expertise. I generally write instrument and machine interface software.
This is a large application, I have been unable to reproduce this problem in a simpler project. I have provided the compile/link commands because that seems like the most likely area for inception of the runtime error. All builds are completed with 0 errors/warnings using /w4 level.

Visual Studio 2019 Professional 16.8.5
Server version: 8.0.23 MySQL Community Server - GPL

MySQL Connector/C++ built from source:
OpenSSL 1.1.1d Static
MySQL Connector/C++ version : 8.0.22 Static (The "try" project runs without errors in Debug and Release)

According to the docs, I need to use this with a statically compiled connector (always errors out on connection if this is not set)
my.ini : default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password

The following works in Release build ( all program features work without errors/warnings) but fails to find tls_versions in Debug mode.
Error from our application's log: SetDbUrl setup failed with DB URL: mysqlx://user:pass@localhost:33060. DB Message: No supported TLS protocol version found in the 'tls-versions' list

std::string url = "mysqlx://user:pass@localhost:33060"
mysqlx::Session session( url );

I have included the compile/link commands below for the Connector/C++ build and for our application's build.
