You system information indicates that the i386 archictecure has NOT been
added, as I would expect a 
  "Foreign Architectures: i386"
in the System Information" section.

Please recheck if the addition of the architecutre has worked, and
remember you'll need to apt update afterwards,

Checking in a chroot, I get the exact error message as you are getting,
when there is _no_ i386 architecture added, but after adding it and
after apt-update, steam-installer can be installed.
