I assume you mean DEBUG=True? Case matters.

That line reports 59595 bytes in the 500 response. That's a humongous
number of bytes for a basic Apache server error page, it looks more correct
for a Django debug page, really. Based on that I believe Django did
generate a debug page, I've got no idea why that isn't what you see. Have
you tried running under the dev server just to see what happens there?
I don't see anything wrong with the form. Cut and pasting it as-is and
using it in a trivial template/view works. So the problem is likely in the
code you have that processes the posted form data.
