Dope should be used to lubricate the threads, not really to seal them. If the street ell threads look good, you may find they are cut too long. Try grinding the end of the male part of the ell if it looks like the threads may be bottoming out. If the thread is short you might try using a pipe die on it to cut a little more thread to allow you to get another turn. I had a bunch of pipe fitters threading 2" pipe one time, and I could tell they had cut the threads too deep, and told them so. They knew I wasn't a pipe fitter so knew nothing until all their joints leaked because the threads bottomed out before sealing.
Otherwise, get a close nipple and a conventional ell, you'll have two joints to help with the number of turns to get it tight.
