  Huh?  You asked about the difference between a new server and an old
server.  How does that translate into two clients querying the same server?

  The server can use NT hashed passwords to perform MS-CHAP authentication.

  Why have you massively edited the debug output?

  Which password?  Could you explain which part of the edited output you
refer to?

  In any case, what little you've posted shows that the client is
sending a PAP authentication request.  Are you sure that you have
configured the server to do PAP authentication using NT-hashed
passwords?  The debug output you've posted conveniently deletes EVERY
REFERENCE TO THE AUTHENTICATION PROCESS.

  i.e. You're asking for help, and making it as hard as possible for
anyone to help you.  Why?
