ST7735 appears to cause ESP8266 to fail to connect to Wifi

**Operating environment/Installation (Hass.io/Docker/pip/etc.):**

Hass.io 2021.6.4
ESP8266 (NodeMCU v3 & Wemos B1 Mini)

Lolin NodeMCU v3

Chip Info:
- Chip Family: ESP8266
- Chip Model: ESP8266EX
- Flash Size: 4MB
- Flash Frequency: 40MHz

ESPHome V1.19.4 (Stable)

**Affected component:**

ST7735: https://www.esphome.io/components/display/st7735.html

**Description of problem:**
I cant quite figure out why, but when using (essentially) the same YAML config with the ST7735 display and with a PCF8574, the code will comple just fine on both, and will run on the ESP8266, however the one using the ST7735 will constantly fail to connect to Wi-Fi with: `reason='Auth Expired'`

The Lambda code isnt exactly "pretty" but it does work just fine with the PCF8574. (i've added comments to explain what it's doing)
It "runs" with the ST7735 (the time and date will show on the TFT and update as expected) but the device will never connect to Wi-Fi
