Some paper equivalent electrostatic interaction with the Coulombic interaction, whereas some paper consider the electrostatic interaction as a combination of Coulombic interaction and desolvation of the polar part (ele = coulombic + polar desolvation)? Is there any authoritative definition of electrostatic interaction?

No...you just have to decipher the context in which the phrase "electrostatic" is used.
