I checked it and it looks fine. It should work. Are you at least on 3.21
to ensure it works without any ipsec.secrets entries?

Yes, it is.

The only things I can think of at this point is that your libreswan
version requires the ipsec.secrets entry. Change the newhostkey
command to: ipsec newhostkey --output /etc/ipsec.secrets
(it will overwrite the existing file)

If that doesn't solve it, maybe disable whatever security mechanisms
might be in play? FIPS? Selinux? AppArmor ?
