[DFTB-Plus-User] Problem of periodic structure optimization

I can't see anything basically wrong with your input. Not sure, whether
your structure is sensitive to that or not, but you could increase the
electronic temperature to something like 100 K and try to make the
SCCTolerance somewhat lower, let's say 1e-6.

  Best regards,
