Map network server using cifs: manual mount works, fstab fails

Been trying to setup a permanent mount for my institutional network server from my work-ubuntu 16.04 (dual boot windows - ubuntu). This has worked before. I have followed the many fine tutorials on this - for instance this.
When I mount manually it works - i am asked for sudo password and then the institutional password. I type:sudo mount -t cifs -o username=myusername$institution.domain,vers=1.0 //institution.domain/myusername /media/networkfolder
However, when I try to setup in fstab using a credentials file (or also without) it fails. I have this line:
//institution.domain/myusername /media/networkfolder cifs credentials=/home/me/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,vers=1.0
The .smbcredentials file reads:
username=myusername
password=mypassword
(variations that fails are username=myusername$institution.domain and also tried including the line domain=institution.domain).
When I look into the running /var/log/kern.log I do not find any obvious hints.

The IP is changing so this is not possible.
