I have experienced this issue with a provider with Asterisk 1.2, 1.6 & 1.8.
I never got to the root cause of the problem however it used to occur
quite frequently, now it appear to occur once every month or two -
haven't seen it occur for a while now but then I have been incrementally
updating my version of asterisk, currently 1.8.11.0
The preceding events I observed was that there would be a timeout
communicating with the peer followed by retry attempts and finally a
message reporting "Wrong password", this is the point at which
registration attempts stopped despite the value in sip.conf being set to 0.
As per your observations a 'sip reload' gets things going again.
When the problem was occurring within a 24-hour period I set up an
SPA-942 phone to register to the service and captured packets between
them, I don't recall seeing any issues over a period of a few days with
the SPA phone hence was baffled by this phenomenon and have been since.
I was considering writing a script to check for the "No Authentications"
status and to then issue a 'sip reload' but as the problem is rarely
seen now I haven't had to do this.
My suspicion to the cause of the problem is that the authentication
database at the VSP may have been offline momentarily hence why the
response of a wrong password, I wasn't convinced of this as the packet
capture of the SPA-942 did not reveal any authentication errors.
Cheers,
Larry.

We found this morning we had no SIP connection to another site. sip
show registry on the main site gave "no authentication". sip show
peers on the other site showed the peer unspecified.
The odd part about this: doing sip reload on the main site made it
all work. Nothing else was changed.
Main site:
sip show registry

13 sip peers [Monitored: 3 online, 7 offline Unmonitored: 2 online, 1

result of sip reload on main site:
-- Registered SIP 'sip_outgoing' at xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa:9345
How do I/can I set the main site to retry a registration? I've now
changed sip.conf to add:
registertimeout=20
registerattempts=0 ;Default is 0 tries, continue forever
But these are the defaults anyhow!
Thanks,
sean
