Since you have mentioned http_port (above) and "generated certificates"
(lower), I assume you are using SslBump.

Is your signing certificate a CA certificate? If not, then you cannot
use it to sign other certificates. SslBump with dynamic certificate
generation requires a CA certificate to sign generated certificates.

CA certificates have a "true" CA basic constraint:

$ openssl x509 -in cert.pem -noout -text | grep -A1 'Basic Constraints'
            X509v3 Basic Constraints:
                CA:TRUE

If your signing certificate is a CA certificate, then you may want to
research why OpenSSL thinks that your private key does not match your
signing certificate.

N.B. Do not call a chain "Root". It is misleading because a chain has
both Root and non-Root certificates.

The first step is to make sure that it is a CA certificate.

I do not know, but see above for the first thing to check. You can also
use OpenSSL to sign some new certificate; does that work?

No, there is not.
