At a first glance I don't see anything obviously wrong.

My suggestion: download the autoyast profile, store it somewhere else
on your install server, set a root password (Replace the "!") and
install without cloud-init configuration but the new autoyast profile. 
Now you should be able to login at the machine and look at the log 
files, why salt-minion cannot connect with the administration dashboard.

If this works, we can try to find out why cloud-init does not work
for you.
