That sounds exactly the same as my "crashes" I'm having on Multiplay (they might not actually be crashes and more long freezes now that I think of it, and I also get the steamauth kicks sometimes). I also suffered the same issue on an older TF2 server which I ran on a Xen VPS - until about a week ago - the entire VPS froze for anywhere between 10 seconds and a few minutes, and when it stopped freezing htop showed the CPU usage of TF2 through the roof, with load averages going above 10. Players with a high enough cl_timeout would remain connected.
The old server was using the most recent stable version of SourceMod; whereas the new one is using a 1.5.0 dev build. Perhaps it could be a dodgy plugin that we both use - however I doubt it.
