This is related to the above post. Running tor with -f /etc/tor/torrc works fine, but it breaks the systemctl service when ClientOnionAuthDir is added to
edit: I have tried changing the ownership of the file. I also tried changing user and other things in the launch options of /lib/systemd/system/tor@*. It makes no difference.

It was a permissions problem for the service. The folder and file needed to be authored by -u debian-tor otherwise it would not work.
The commands i used:
sudo -u debian-tor mkdir /var/lib/tor/onion-auth; sudo vim /var/lib/tor/onion-auth/x1.auth_private
