Have you tried using 'mm_dedicated_force_servers' instead of the search key?
I use that all the time and have no issues connecting to my server.

Hello everyone, it seems that the search key and steam group functions are
horribly unreliable. For example i am often unable to join the server via
search key unless i first restart the server then join, this seems to
refresh it with the steam servers somehow? Anyways, i don't believe I'm
doing anything horribly wrong, here is the launch line and config currently
being used on 64bit debian lenny with no firewall.
