New description:

 **Please note! It's not a  #26823 duplicate, and it's just an issue
 related this one.**

 In the current implementation, a signal handler connects with a user model
 when this model has a `last_login` field.

 {{{
 #!python
 if hasattr(get_user_model(), 'last_login'):
     from .models import update_last_login
     user_logged_in.connect(update_last_login,
 dispatch_uid='update_last_login')
 }}}

 And it would work when there isn't a `last_login` attribute in the custom
 user model. But what if I've inherited my custom model from `AbstractUser`
 and dropped the `last_login` by setting it to `None`?

 {{{
 #!python
 class User(AbstractBaseUser):
     last_login = None     # Drop ``last_login`` field off
 }}}

 Technically, the model has a `last_login` attribute, but it's not a field!

 Suggesting change the check condition something like that:
 {{{
 #!python
 last_login = getattr(get_user_model(), 'last_login', None)
 if last_login is not None:
     # ...
 }}}
 or even
 {{{
 #!python
 if isisintance(last_login, models.Field):
     # ...
 }}}
