The debug log from wpa_supplicant seemed to indeed show a successful
authentiation.

Not at the moment. There has been some discussion on adding that,
though. Another option would be to use wpa_cli to check the status of
the connection from an external script and delay DHCP client starting
until the authentication has been completed.

Yes, that is fine. WPA part of wpa_supplicant is just reporting that it
is ignoring the packet.

wpa_supplicant doesn't do "this" internally. EAP-PEAP does not require
client certificate/key at all for TLS.. The configuration file you use
looks valid for EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2.
