OK there's nothing obviously wrong in that.

You need to specify the full path not just the directory, ie
XAuthLocation /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth

You will also need to restart sshd after changing the file.  Once you change it
and restart, please retry the ssh -vvv thing above (and try "echo $DISPLAY"
after logging in).

No, it's not required to get X11 forwarding working.
