Running discourse on non standard ports is not supported.

Let’s encrypt must have ports 80 and 443. It’s really best to enable it with discourse setup, but now that you have mucked with app.yml by hand it might not work.

I recommend that you delete your app.yml, run discourse-setup to get https working, then add the official plugins, then add the custom wizard plugin.
