One thing that stands out to me is that you are referring tomongodb.service, but if you followed the instructions you linked, the service is actuallymongod.service. You might be able to figure out the cause of the service failure in/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log(unless you changed the logging path in/etc/mongod.conf).

I was able to reproduce your issue by setting the wrong ownership on the folder /var/log/mongodb:
root@demo:~# ls -lh /var/log/mongodb/
total 512
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 22 17:57 mongod.log

If this doesn't work, try reinstalling MongoDB, deleting all existing data:
sudo apt purge mongodb-org mongodb-org-mongos mongodb-org-server mongodb-org-shell mongodb-org-tools
sudo rm -rfv /etc/mongod.conf /var/log/mongodb /var/lib/mongodb
sudo find /tmp -type s -iname '*mongodb*' -delete
sudo apt install mongodb-org

One thing that stands out to me is that you are referring to
mongodb.service, but if you followed the instructions you linked, the service is actuallymongod.service. You might be able to figure out the cause of the service failure in/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log(unless you changed the logging path in/etc/mongod.conf).– Deltik
