I noticed in your sshd_config that you have:
# Change to yes to enable built-in password authentication.
PasswordAuthentication yes
PermitEmptyPasswords no
# Change to no to disable PAM authentication
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
By default, ssh uses PAM for authentication. By commenting those
lines out, it doesn't mean that password checking won't be done, just
that it will be handled with PAM.
And then later in the file you have:
UsePAM yes
Try commenting out the PasswordAuthentication, PermitEmptyPasswords,
and ChallengeResponse lines.
