Max-All-Session alone should not cause that

Normally you should never have to mess with Auth-Type, unless you're
doing some exotic setup (like LDAP bind with fallback to system user)

You have changed something else and made it broken. Reverse that.
I use git to record changes in /etc/raddb so I can have a record of
what have changed. You might need something similar.

In the mean time, see

Since you say only some users experience it, compare the log for both
the working and non-working user.
