Your jar does not have the Log4j2Plugins.dat file in it which indicates the log4j annotation processor did not run. You really should have this enabled. Although specifying the packages attribute should work it is much slower to find the plugins. Your log file below show package com.***.util.logging.log4j as being searched, not test.
Can you create a zip file with all the parts, with source, that shows the problem? Doing this piecemeal is a bit tough.
