svn+ssh with private key - Authentication required

I'm tring to set up a VCS root in TeamCity version 4.5.4 (build 9071) to use svn+ssh with private key, but it gives me an exception when I Test the connection: "svn: Authentication required for 'svn+ssh://ip.to.server'". I have set up other roots that don't require a key, and they work fine. The problematic repository also works fine with TortousSVN + putty.

I have noticed other people having this problem. The solution in http://jetbrains.net/tracker/issue/TW-7520 was to export the private key using openSSH and use that. I tried, but it did not help me .

I also tried to manually edit the wrapper.conf in the manner explained in this blog post, with no effect.

I'm specifying SVN Connection Settings: Url, User name, password, as well as SSH settings: private key file, key file password, and ssh port.

I can't find any teamcity-svn.log. Dump from teamcity-vcs.log (some "private data" changed):
