I think you should apply the noauth option to the pppd on the client
side. The clients pppd requests the mgetty ppp server to authenticate
itself on the client:

auth   Require  the peer to authenticate itself before allowing network
       packets to be sent or received.  This option is the  default  if
       the system has a default route.  If neither this option nor the
       noauth option is specified, pppd will only allow the peer to use
       IP  addresses to which the system does not already have a route.
