org.jboss.hal.testsuite.test.runtime.server.TopologyTest is failing because a server started in EAP domain cannot start. The situation is caused by server failing to authenticate to host as ANONYMOUS, because the default sasl-authentication-factory of http-interface is not configured and authentication is required (WFLY-18168).

Returning the default SASL factory back is not sufficient as the local authentication doesn't work as the server is containerized and the client in test suite doesn't have access to challenge files required for local authn. Hence I suggest to leverage password based authentication set by default and already supported by server test images.
