I'm moving this to the "Help" topic (instead of "Server"), where you would have been presented with the below form.

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help.

Let’s Encrypt will follow redirects when validating the HTTP-01 challenge; is it possible you somehow had set up a redirect to https://domain:80 on your server? Although I don’t see a redirect now, maybe you removed it?
