It's not quoted enough!
You have either to double those \ characters, or remove the enclosing "
from the string. The latter is easier. In 3.15 you can say
server_condition = \
${if crypteq{$3}{\{md\}1a1dc91c907325c69271ddf0c944bc72} {1} {0} }
Removing the " removes one level of quoting; because the arguments of
crypteq are pre-expanded, you need to quote at that level as well.
