Two months ago I decided to try the new ed25519 key introduced in Tor 2.7 with OfflineMasterKey
great to see more people using/testing this feature.
That raises two questions to me:
- why does Tor think the new keys are already expired?
Did you manually verify the expire dates of the newly generated cert/key files?

Sharing your torrc config might help others reproduce your problem.
btw: consider doing less steps as root, it is not needed to generate keys or scp stuff as root
