Good insight! Thanks for digging into the embedded code. Indeed, the library from which async-mqtt-client was forked has an outstanding issue to add wsMQTT support.

Thanks for digging into this! Based on your response and the response from u/antirobot, it appears neither the ESPHome server nor the embedded client support wsMQTT (makes sense because I was looking in vain for an option to specify the connection type). It appears HA only recently added support for wsMQTT, so I'm not too surprised.
