You're missing a call to X509_set_pubkey. Since the certificate doesn't
contain a public key it is not valid and the TLS code can't check a public key
which doesn't exist. In fact it wont even get there: if there is no key on a
certificate OpenSSL will refuse to add it as a certificate in the first place
(which is why you get the "no certificate" error).

If you checked some of your other functions for errors you'd see what was
happening: there are probably many more errors in the whole queue but you're
only seeing the last one.

Check out demos/x509/mkcert.c for an example of how to create a certificate.
