You don't mention having installed e.g. racoon (in security/ipsec-tools) 
so you don't have any software to actually set up and negotiate a tunnel.

AFAIK, IPSEC and IPSEC_ESP are just options to enable those specific 
protocols, but you still need software to do IKE and all the other 
acronyms that VPN comes with.

Here's a bunch of links I found useful when setting up VPN:
