ssh localhost
ssh-keygen -t dsa -P '' -f ~/.ssh/id_dsa

DSA keys are not accepted in recent versions of openssh by default. You should use rsa, which works fine and is considered more secure by the openssh developers. If you really want to use dsa keys, you should add
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-dss
line into your sshd_config and restart ssh service.

This did the trick. Thank you. The way to discover this is that logging into the server with the-vvvflag has a linedebug3: receive packet: type 51inside of the output that reveals that the authentification failed.
