The issue is that PuTTY does not fall back from its SSH2 attempt to

Is this what you tried too, or did you use SSH2 (i.e. key
authentication, instead of password authentication)?
Unless I misunderstand, then you have a serious misapprehension. SSH1
versus SSH2 is *nothing* to do with keys versus passwords. Both SSH1
and SSH2 support password or key based authentication. The difference
is that SSH1 an older protocol and is *insecure* and no-one should still
be using it unless they have some legacy app which really cannot be updated.
I strongly suggest that at the very least you enable SSH2 as the first
protocol in sshd_config with a line like
Protocol 2,1
though from what I can see, SSH2 only has been the default for a while,
and rightly so.
