You are using the --apache authenticator but I don't see you using Apache. Instead, I see a lighttpd server.
curl -i http://yourtop.news/.well-known/acme-challenge/Test404
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
location: https://yourtop.news/.well-known/acme-challenge/Test404
curl -ik https://yourtop.news/.well-known/acme-challenge/Test404
HTTP/2 404
server: lighttpd/ACME
I don't know much about lighttpd but you probably need to use --webroot method. Perhaps this earlier thread will help
