My guess, which could be totally wrong: You have service password-encryption on, so the text after the 7 in your password string should be encrypted. It is in your username statements, which decrypts to cisco, but according to the configs "cisco" is the encrypted password in the ppp pap sent-username which doesn't decrypt (has to be hex values).
If you put in ppp pap sent-username 7 cisco it takes cisco as the encrypted password and tries to decrypt it. You need to put in "ppp pap sent-username 7 045802150C2E" or "ppp pap sent-username 7 02050D480809" (or any one of many possibilities) or "ppp pap sent username cisco" I think!!!
