psk="N at tur%Wieser"
and
psk=b853709a9edcd50edf0835f68bf099255cb32fc462e492117fe3c42ab2a387cb
are equivalent.

If you have troubles to configure it manually, I recommend to try
wpa_gui as a next step. In the upstream, wpa_gui is maintained together
with wpa_supplicant by the same maintainer. Therefor wpa_gui has always
been working fine with wpa_supplicant and might help you to create a
consistent configuration.

If this doesn't work, there might be a problem in the (1) lower layer
(driver), (2) AP, or (3) HW in general. If so, to debug it might be a
complex issue suitable for a bug entry. 

Cheers,
