The authentication protocol used is seen in the following line of output:

The connection process and authentication process are two separate processes and in this case both succeeded. First the connection completed as indicated by the following line of output:
*Mar 3 00:06:17.260: Se1/1 LCP: State is Open

Then later the authentication succeeded, as indicated by this line at the end of the output:
*Mar 3 00:06:17.584: Se1/1 PPP: Phase is UP
