I've been trying to accomplish end-to-end encryption for a rabbitmq deployment. I've managed to enable TLS for AMQP just fine, but I cannot get it to work for the web-mqtt plugin. Connecting via insecure WS to the default port of 15675 works fine. The plugin seems to reject setting the ssl listener to the same port as the default port. I have set the ssl port to 15676 but it does not seem to work.
To be clear the client can connect to:
ws://hostname:15675/ws 
It cannot connect to:
wss://hostname:15675/ws -> SSL Error (makes sense)
wss://hostname:15676/ws -> Timeout
wss://hostname:15676 -> Timeout
wss://hostname:15676/mqtt/ws -> Timeout
wss://hostname:15676/ws/mqtt -> Timeout

My AMQP client connects securely.

Here is the relevant rabbit.conf:

listeners.tcp.default = 5671
listeners.ssl.default = 5671

ssl_options.cacertfile = /path/to/fullchain.pem
ssl_options.certfile = /path/to/cert.pem
ssl_options.keyfile = /path/to/privkey.pem

ssl_options.verify = verify_none
ssl_options.fail_if_no_peer_cert = false

web_mqtt.ssl.port = 15676

web_mqtt.ssl.cacertfile = /path/to/fullchain.pem
web_mqtt.ssl.certfile = /path/to/cert.pem
web_mqtt.ssl.keyfile = /path/to/privkey.pem

Also, is there any obvious how-to/tutorial resource I am missing? I don't see anything showing an example TLS connection string in the RabbitMQ TLS guide, or the Web MQTT guide, but I might've missed it.

Update / Correction: The wss://hostname:15676/ws says the remote host closed the connection, if that makes any difference. Err msg:

WebSocket connection to 'wss://hostname:15676/ws' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED
