  FreeRADIUS doesn't cache authentications.  The issue is likely that
your switch is caching the status of the MAC address.

  I'm *presuming* that this is for an Access-Request.  I don't know,
because you've deleted most of the debug output.

  Read it:

  That's not an Access-Request.

  The NAS (or switch) is starting an accounting session without first
authenticating the user.

  Fix the switch so that it sends Access-Requests when a user connects
to it.
