was also present. Antennas had been well sealed and no detectable
moisture inside. Even the ends in the shack were gunked. Help on this
would be much appreciated.

You just might have galvanic corrosion of two dissimilar metals.
There is some chart that shows the metals in a list, the metals close to one another will present no problems, the metals farther apart will perhaps have problems.
Aluminum and brass are two metals that will corrode [in the presence of moisture]
Plus the plating that you spoke about... do you really knows its composition?
I would go with a different brand of connector , perhaps more expensive..
Perhaps calling the manufacturer of this coax and ask their recommendation
