Note that mate-power-manager is masked.
I see you didn't follow the recommendation of getting rid of the ::mate-overlay because I'm still seeing mate-base/mate::mate-overlay and more in the output I don't know how we could possible get forward if you don't follow-up on the already suggested instructions, no wonder you've been running circles. Uninstall mate-overlay, emerge -C mate mate-power-manager mate-session-manager and anything else you have installed from there. Let Portage pull them back in from the actual Portage tree.
