You're the server side?  Then why is your peer demanding that you
authenticate yourself?

There's the misconfiguration.  The client should not have the above
five options.  Instead, it should just have "noauth."  (As long as the
client doesn't have a default route, it won't even need "noauth.")

Don't change both sides.  The server looks fine.  It's the client
that's misconfigured.

You have it set up so that both sides demand authentication and both
sides *refuse* that demand.  What else could possibly be the result?
