Private registry and quay.io not authenticating

Build Environment
1

Attempting to use the private registry capability for setup_remote_docker. Relevant portion of config.yml looks like this:

version: 2

jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: quay.io/org_library/circleci-base-agent:latest
        auth:
          username: $QU
          password: $QA

but this fails with the following error:

Starting container quay.io/org_library/circleci-base-agent:latest
image cache not found on this host, downloading quay.io/org_library/circleci-base-agent:latest
Error response from daemon: unauthorized: access to the requested resource is not authorized

(I’ve substituted for actual org name obviously)

but the credentials are correct and docker login works fine. Tried providing those env variables both in the ‘project’ definition within circleci as well as via config.yml but it doesn’t change the outcome. Are there any other resources for understanding using circleci with private registries (quay in particular)
