You can use either the internal EAP authentication server or an external
RADIUS server for FILS shared key authentication.

Which version of hostapd are you using on the RADIUS server?
erp_add_key() callback was added in 2014 to radius_server.c. There is no
erp_set_key, so I guess that was a type for erp_get_key() which was also
added in 2014..

I'm not sure what you are describing here, but all the ERP and FILS test
cases in tests/hwsim/test_{erp,fils}.py work fine for me. Those have
examples of various different ways of using FILS shared key
authentication with internal or external EAP server and with and without
PMKSA caching.

If some combinations do not work for you, please provide configuration
files from the hostapd(s) and debug logs from them as well.
