Can you force a reboot/shutdown by using the magic SysRq key? (Hold
down Alt+PrintScren, then type S, U, B to reboot or S, U, O to power
off, while still holding the Alt+PrintScreen.)

I had experienced some fun with reboots taking a long time (20-40
*minutes*), which turned out to be due to swapoff being really slow.
But I see you already tried turning swap off, so it's not that.

It does sound like systemd is waiting for some service to shut down, but
that service is taking a long time to shut down.
/usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian.gz has a section titled "Debugging
boot/shutdown problems". You may want to use the method described there
to see what's actually going on during the shutdown procedure.
