Is the dm_crypt module available and loaded?  Is it the same cryptsetup
binary used for the luksFormat and luksOpen?  This is what I get in a
stretch VM:

# Key length 32, device size 131072 sectors, header size 2050 sectors.
# Timeout set to 0 miliseconds.
# Password retry count set to 3.
# Password verification disabled.
# Iteration time set to 2000 milliseconds.
# Password retry count set to 1.
# Activating volume test_disk [keyslot -1] using keyfile /tmp/key.
# Creating directory "/dev/mapper"
# Creating device /dev/mapper/control (10, 236)
# dm version   [ opencount flush ]   [16384] (*1)
# dm versions   [ opencount flush ]   [16384] (*1)
# Detected dm-crypt version 1.20.0, dm-ioctl version 4.42.0.
