I think this (lack of) error message has popped up before, and back then the problem was that Logstash wasn't configured to connect to the right vhost.

Apart from checking all entities again (exchange name etc) I'd see if Wireshark is capable of deciphering AMQP frames (I think it is) and dump some of the traffic to find out what's wrong. Then, file a GitHub issue about it.
