I have reproduced this.

If you check the rabbit-sasl.log you'll find some cryptic error.

The root cause is that you are missing a password in the above config, 
which is mandatory (but can be "") for the ssl config in cowboy, the web 
server library used by web_stomp.

I have just updated our docs at 
http://www.rabbitmq.com/web-stomp.html#config to make that clear.
