  In most cases, the *client* chooses the authentication method.  The server is just configured to allow many different methods.

  Read the debug log for MSCHAPv2, and see how it's different from EAP.

  The debug log *tells you* why it doesn't work.  See the text just above.  It tells you what's going wrong, and what the server needs.

  Your best bet is to just use Cleartext-Password, and let the server figure out what to do.
