The WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER indicates that your cluster is configured with TLS version 1.2.

cqlsh connects to clusters using the Python SSL library and you need to configure your cqlshrc file to use the TLS protocol which is SSL version SSLv23:

[ssl]
version = SSLv23

If you're still running into issues, please log a ticket with DataStax Support so one of our engineers can take a look at your configuration. Cheers!
