I don't see anything bad in your config (though I am not an expert). 
Someone else might provide better feedback on that.

v2.4.23 available from the RHEL repo should work without problems, but I 
would not advise you to use it in production. Retry by recreating 
(slapadd) / re-indexing your db and restart the server. You could also 
try re-installing your OL server RPM.

However, it is strongly suggested to use v2.4.31. LTB is free and 
full-featured (this is what we use). Symas Silver is free but does not 
offer syncrepl provider. Symas Gold is full-featured but not free.

Also, no need to specify filter, scope and attrs since you are 
replicating everything.

Here is my working consumer setup:

   syncrepl rid=111
            provider=ldaps://ldap.example.com
            tls_reqcert=never
            type=refreshAndPersist
            retry="60 +"
            searchbase="dc=example,dc=com"
            schemachecking=off
            bindmethod=simple
            binddn="cn=someuser,dc=example,dc=com"
            credentials="password"
