Your logs show:

 debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
 debug2: no key of type 0 for host tyr
 debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /root/.ssh/known_hosts2
 debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts2
 debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /root/.ssh/known_hosts
 debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
 debug2: no key of type 1 for host tyr
 Host key verification failed.

Try moving your known hosts file(s) out of the way first.

Also it seems like "StrictHostKeyChecking ask" is not working. (Don't use
an equal = sign.)

By the way, I found a silimar problem in the March 2004 FreeBSD questions
(and stable) thread "Re: ssh no longer connecting automatically".
