Does this happen only initially and it works subsequently?  Or does it
'always' happen?    I use Evolution with numerous CardDAV/CalDAV
connections, on servers that are not terribly fast, and I do not see
any credentials errors.   The "Failed to prompt for credentials for '' 
  " is suspiciously specific ...  are you certain this is not some
other type of problem?  Authentication/keyring/etc...

Enable debugging and see what happens.

Run evolution-calendar-factory in a terminal with something like
 CALDAV_DEBUG={all|message:body|message:header|message|items|attachment
s} evolution-calendar-factory >& logfileMultiple options can be
specified as a comma-separated list.

Contacts at least are saved locally for offline operation.
