Which totally makes sense given the last *DISCONNECT* event in the log 
above, but without timestamps it is hard to tell whether this is your 
problem.

Is there some sort of connection manager like NetworkManager running 
while attempting to run wpa_supplicant from the command line. You should 
disable that service. After establishing connection you have to run a 
dhcp client to establish IP connectivity, eg. dhclient -v wlp5s0
