After digging into it, and with helpful logs from Andrew, I have figured out the problem.  This is a bug I introduced in HTCondor version 8.5.6 when the PASSWORD authentication method was made non-blocking.

The ticket for it is here:

And the fix will be in the 8.6.3 release.


Thanks again Andrew for the report!
