Problem solved. In reading the -vvv output I posted, I realized the
client was attempting the GSSI... authentication method first, then
publickeys. In reading the man page for ssh, there is a
PreferredAuthentications option that can be set in
ssh_config. Enteringthe following line in /etc/ssh/ssh_config,

PreferredAuthentications publickey,hostbased,keyboard-interactive,password

(on both sides) solved the problem.
