MQTT plugin not starting #156

Description

@joseosanchez

Hi, I have several octoprint instances installed using octoprint deploy for my printers at home. I wanted to use the mqtt plugin to monitor my printers and was trying on one of the instances running on my raspberry pi. However, it seems it cannot even start a connection as it drops out with an error. My mqtt server does not see the connection attemps. Here is the error log from octoprint.
