I believe this is an indication something in the drive authorization sequence has failed. The EIS validates the laser key and then sends authorization to the ECU that manages the injection pump to permit operation - no authorization no start. The fact that you can see fuel flowing through the supply/return lines doesn't mean anything - it's a mechanical pump.
The EDC pump control used in the OM606 turbo is not the same as the old purely mechanical pumps of the earlier engines.
I recall testing this on my OM606, it I pulled the fuse that fed power to the EDC control unit the car immediately quit and would not restart until the fuse was present.
Do you have another key? I'd try that.
Again I think you have some sort of drive authorization failure. You won't be able to bypass the stop solenoid or manually jump the K40 start relay without the proper start authorization process being completed.
