Here's your problem.

That's fine, not everyone needs it.

there was no "eap" in there.

You removed the default server, and therefore the call to the eap 
module. The comments at the top of the google-ldap configuration say it 
is the inner tunnel virtual server. Sending wifi auth to it directly 
won't work, as it's for an EAP inner method (specifically, EAP-TTLS/PAP 
only, as that's the only commonly used one that has a clear text 
password to use).

You need to add the default virtual server back in again, then configure 
the relevant (TTLS) "virtual_server" in mods-enabled/eap to point to 
"google-ldap" instead of "inner-tunnel" (the default).

Best still, go back to the default configuration, add your user to the 
"users" file, and get the basics working. Once you have done that you 
can remove or change one thing at a time and then you'll whether what 
you have done has broken anything or not. Using version control is 
useful for this.
