Electrum won't connect to EPS anymore

See original GitHub issue

I had EPS and Electrum working for a while. Everything was working fine, however the Electrum stopped connecting to EPS. Already tried to reinstall both Electrum and EPS, and the problem persists.

I connect Electrum to EPS by Tor. Tor is running on both machines, server and client. EPS is configured to listen to 127.0.0.1:50002 and on the server the Tor is listening port 50002 and routing the connection to 127.0.0.1:50002, so it’s configured right.

EPS log shows it’s listening:

However Electrum can’t connect to it:

20200416T131259.347902Z |     INFO | interface.[xxxxxx.onion:50002] | disconnecting due to: CancelledError()
20200416T131259.349079Z |     INFO | network | couldn't launch iface xxxxxx.onion:50002:t -- CancelledError()

On another server I have Electrs running over Tor as well and Electrum connects fine. I’m not sure what’s causing this issue
