Tried forcing a different steamclient.dll
added steamclient64.dll from my gaming desktop
And still can't figure this out.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

GAME LAUNCH CMD: .\orangebox\srcds.exe -game tf -command update -hostport 27015 +map ctf_2fort
try without "-console".

Starting without the console command launches the GUI which I do not want
Does not fix the problem though, it still launched as insecure LAN server.

i have installed tf2 too, because i want to reproduce and fix the error, but the same error like ever and ever - but no solution found after 5 hours hard work with it 
it's perhaps a windows-problem, ich have a win 2008 r2-root too ^^

Sorry but I'm having a little bit of a hard time deciphering that...
You just installed TF2 also to reproduce the issue, get the same error over and over, and can't figure it out?
I've tried everything I know how to do, still researching for others' answer but so far I've got nothing.

I mentioned in the first post that the server box is DMZ hosted
This means all ports are forwarded/open to that box.
Tried with your config, same errors occur. I'm going to try specifically forwarding the needed ports over but I'm quite certain this wont change anything as I'm sure this has worked in the past.

ahh sorry didn't read that bit. I have not messed around with putting an IP in a DMZ. Good Luck.
Just a quick input I've never used the -command update in the server launching batch file, I doubt it but try launching without that command. Just trying to throw out options.

I figured I would entertain the option... Removed the -command update flag
No change, still errors out

I have the exact same issue.
My server has ran fine until the update yesterday (or day before, forgot and getting incredibly frustrated with this). I've attempted to completely reinstall, simply restart, use -verify_all, launching using a .bat file, but nothing works. I think this recent update simply broke SRCDS for TF2. I REALLY hope that it is fixed soon.

It's happening on a fresh Linux install, relevant thread:
http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/18494
Basically, check to see if the appid.txt file is in the orangebox folder. if not, try creating it and put "440" in the file (without quotes). Save and restart the server. Does that help?
Granted Windows and Linux are different OS (stating the obvious...) but for the same error to happen, it could be the same cause.

Confirming this has resolved my issue as well
