Your binddn does not match your -D option above. Regardless, ldap.conf is
the wrong configuration file to configure slapd with. ldap.conf is used to
configure the openldap client libraries and utilities (such as ldapsearch).

See the OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide for configuration details.
Specifically Chapters 5 and 11 (11.2).

Also, you can type 'apropos slap' to see a list of slapd related man pages.
