Here is the problem in your debugging data.

rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 172.24.0.14:36180, id=72,
length=46
        User-Name = "user"
        User-Password = "password"

The password is coming through as User-Password, NOT Crypt-Password.  So, it
matches nothing in the users file.  Furthermore, probably in plain text not
encrypted form like you expect.
