EAP-MD5 needs the plaintext password.

rlm_ldap can only *AUTHENTICATE* PAP requests. Since you've over-ridden 
Auth-Type (as you've been told not to) you're trying to force an EAP 
request through it.

Don't set Auth-Type

If you want to use EAP-MD5, your LDAP directory will need to contain a 
plaintext password and be configured to pass it to FreeRadius, because 
EAP-MD5 needs the plaintext password. Do you have that?
