I’m having the same issue. I re-created .htaccess to be default WordPress format and still have the issue. The directory /.well-known/ is 0755. Not sure where else too look for this setting.
I figured out my issue, hope it helps someone. My site was redirecting (via two different methods) all traffic through https. I was getting certificate errors via https (still need to figure out what that’s about) so I think that’s what was preventing the challenge request from working correctly. After I disabled the https re-directing, it worked.

Could you be more precise please?
This are my entries for all my redirects:
.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://gassihelden.de/$1 [R=301,L]
wp-config.php
define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'https://gassihelden.de/wp-content' );
My WordPress url settings:
https://gassihelden.de
https://gassihelden.de
And I have set SSL in my Plesk panel for this domain.
I have no idea why I get the challenge request and which redirect I should remove.
Any idea?
