So what is the issue here?

When you do sftp <remotehost> it is asking for a password instead of logging you in with the keys? Is that the issue?

I am looking at the debug you posted, does not look like keys are the issues, and it looks it is logging you in with the keys, so i am not seeing any issue here, but maybe I don't understand it, pardon me if that is the case.

Code:
debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-dss blen 433
debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).

The above looks like server accepted the public key so no issue here.

Code:
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: Sending subsystem: sftp

This looks like you got into SFTP as well and were able to transfer data and then you closed the connection. I am not seeing any issue.

Code:
Transferred: sent 2392, received 2304 bytes, in 2.8 seconds
Bytes per second: sent 854.2, received 822.7
debug1: Exit status 1
Connection closed

sftp-server(1M)                                           System Administration Commands                                           sftp-server(1M)

NAME

       sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

DESCRIPTION

       sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer.

       sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. There are no options or config settings.

       To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

       Subsystem   sftp     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

       See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file.

       There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Successful completion.

       >0       An error occurred.
