In which case I don't have any other suggestion.

pppd decides what authentication algorithm to use - Radius does not have 
any choice in the matter.

You might try enabling the various ppp debugging options (debub, kdebug) 
and inspecting the output.

To be clear: nothing you can do in FreeRadius will make pppd use MS-CHAP.

One more thing - looking back at a previous email, I infer you are 
setting Auth-Type in the "users" file to MS-CHAP? Don't do that. If the 
request is a real MS-CHAP request, the "mschap" module will set that 
itself. If it's not, setting it will just break things.
