The most likely explanation for the above log trace is that the client 
is establishing a tcp connection to the server but is then not sending 
the required AMQP protocol header. So eventually (after 10 seconds) the 
server closes the connection.

What client are you using?

You may want to use a tool like wireshark to sniff the traffic.
