This was already answered in the community Slack, but posting the answer here too for visibility:

This error is commonly caused by the presence of the file $HOME/.postgresql/root.crt on the filesystem. When this file is present the PostgreSQL client library will assume the database server has that root certificate, which will cause the above error.
To fix: Remove or rename the file, then try encore run again.

Also added to docs here.
