There's nothing to try - your debug log shows that PAP is already
being called (it's in be default), so all you need to to is remove
the auth-type := local from your config. It will work exactly as
it does now.

Setting Auth-Type like this has been deprecated for *years*, and
is only likely to cause you problems some time in the future.
There are very few situations where it should be set manually.
