It should attempt to reconnect in few seconds. See the log file, maybe it helps. In Linux it is named connection_log_<port>.txt and should be located in /home/<user>/Steam/logs (<user> is the one used for running the server). The log file contains details about protocol (TCP/UDP), the IP of CM server, why disconnected etc... The most important line for you is "StartAutoReconnect() will start in XX seconds".

It doesn't work. It just prints Connection to Steam servers lost. (Result = 3) and never attempts to reconnect.
