When I solder 12ga. Wet Noodle wire into 4mm connectors I tin the wire while it's inside the un-tinned connector, effectively tinning both the wire and the connector at the same time. This method requires that the iron stay on longer, but done right it will hold beautifully.

Honestly, I wouldn't trust 4mm connectors over Deans for batteries. If you are using 6.5mm connectors and having issues with them disconnecting, I can imagine it would be worse with 4mm.
