I see a lot of initial spaces in your ppp.conf. I am not sure if this is
due to importing of your conf file in your mailer.
Older versions of ppp.conf required labels like default to start on the
first position of the line. This was explicitly mentioned in the man
page. Newer version seem to have more relaxed requirements.
default:
set device .............
and not
default:
set device ........etc
The configuration commands have to start on the second position of the
line with a space or a single tab.
It looks like your ppp.conf file is not read at all by the ppp
program/daemon. It does not parse your default section, and hence does not
see your modem is on cua000. This is probably due to not following the
formatting guidelines.

ppp cannot find your "default:" label and its entries

Align the "set" under the "e" of default.
