Using unixodbc 2.2.14p2-2 from sid works for me also.

OK

On connect Erlang ODBC application opens two TCP sockets (using IPv6 if
available or IPv4), runs odbcserver process and expects it to connect back to
both these sockets. If it fails to do that in 5 seconds it stops with
timeout error
(as in your case). So, there might be firewall issues.
