This cannot work (and this is not related to the fact that you are not
using a version of FFmpeg that we support here).

In some cases - if you are lucky - there is a crash and no output file
is written, in other cases, a "broken" output file is written, broken in
the sense that two-pass encoding did not work the way it is supposed
to (more bitrate was given to frames that do not need it).

Do not use -an on the first pass and add "-vsync cfr" to the first pass.
(Other workarounds are possible.)

For future questions: Do not cut FFmpeg's console output, only
post ffprobe output if you see an issue with it.

Not really related:

No, to the best of my knowledge, it makes no sense whatsoever.

Very generally you either want a specific output quality, in this
case specifying a bitrate and two-pass encoding make no
sense.
Or you have a particular size requirement for the output file,
then bitrate and two-pass encoding make sense.
