Trying changing your config to only contain the following: hostname "Your Server Name" sv_search_key "unique search key"
Then start a lobby in game, bring down the console and type 'sv_search_key "your unique search key"' and see if that works. In my experience this works better than the steamgroup settings as you can actually create a lobby and configure your game before you start.
