First, check your logs. That is what they are there for ;-)

If you are using libreswan check out the wiki pages:

https://libreswan.org/man/ipsec.conf.5.html
https://libreswan.org/wiki/FAQ
https://libreswan.org/wiki/Configuration_examples
https://libreswan.org/wiki/Subnet_to_subnet_VPN

Check left/leftnexthop in the documentation. Probably try

left=%defaultroute

leave out leftnexthop

You can leave out ike and phase2alg and it should try all available
encryption methods

I'd remove as much as you can and then add options as required.

Libreswan will connect with Openswan.

Try something really simple like this for starters.
