If you have not gotten an upgraded mosquitto broker yet, you likely will.
Running Pop!_OS 21.04, I was upgraded to v2 last night and my mosquitto broker refused to start afterwards.
Among other changes, mosquitto no longer runs as root and therefore can't read the ssl cert files.
After looking at other solutions, I took the easy (but unsecure) way out.
I added the line 
user root
to the main mosquitto.conf file
A restart of mosquitto and all is well again.
