This is at the Windows machine running an SSH client? "connection
refused" almost always means that the TCP connection is being
rejected. The TCP connection must be established before SSH even
starts. This does not sound like an SSH authentication issue.

Not surprising. It probably is never seeing a connection attempt. It
is running and listening on port 22, right?

To port 22? How do you know? A tcpdump(8) of the initial connection
attempt may help us here.

Again, it doesn't sound like you ever get to the SSH part of the
connection.
