The Salt ProxyMinion is shutdown.
Proxymodule esxi is missing an init() or a shutdown() or both. Check your proxymodule. Salt-proxy aborted.

This bug was reported before and seemingly got fixed, but the issue consists:
https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/44065

Setup

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked debug log and issue #44065, then reproduce the failure using /etc/salt/proxy and the minion-specific /etc/salt/proxy.d/esxi-server1/grains.conf configuration. Done means an ESXi Proxy-Minion using this configuration starts without reporting that the esxi proxymodule lacks init() or shutdown().
