I server.propertes:

listeners=PLAINTEXT://hidden_ip:9092

when I run:
bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic lt1 bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic lt1
I get same error just like you get.and I try run :

bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list hidden_ip:9092 --topic lt1

PS:I run this on same machine.
