The EAP-Message attribute contains an EAP packet. That packet
contains a type, which is EAP-SIM.
The *rest* of the data in the EAP-Message is data specific to EAP-SIM.
That data may be malformed, or contain the wrong authentication
information.

Yes, it is because of those values. They serve a similar purpose to
the password supplied by the user. They're used to calculate the
EAP-SIM authentication data.

Because EAP-SIM involves multiple challenges. If the client doesn't
like the response from the server, it stops talking to the server. This
is what you're seeing.
