TL;DR

Keys store on both gitlab DB and gitolite side. You should use the factory build gitolite-admin.git folder, don't use your backup! And rebuild the Keys for gitolite later with the update keys command. (update those keys already saved inside the gitlab db to gitolite)

sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake gitlab:gitolite:update_keys RAILS_ENV=production

Most likely it's because there is something issue about the gitolite keys not save properly. Those keys (for login) are actually keep separately by gitlab & gitolite. For pull/push is actually using the keys saved inside gitolite. (git/repositories/gitolite-admin.git/index, git/.gitolite/keydir, git/.ssh/authorized_keys)

gitlab normally should help on saving those imported keys on web to the gitolite files. However, for some reasons it failed. As the keys are not saved properly inside gitolite, the client/server fail to use the keys and fallback to password.

You have to check and fix those keys saved inside gitolite to correct the problems.
