Based on the debug log, it looks like the WPA 4-Way handshake is
completed successfully and the client is able to receive message 1/2 of
the Group Key handshake. However, for some reason the AP does not either
receive or accept message 2/2. If you can get any event/debug
information from the AP, it could be helpful in finding out what is
happening.

The AP disconnected the client and wpa_supplicant uses a blacklist to
go through all available APs (if there's more than one) before trying
again with the one that rejected the authentication.
