When I had that problem, it was because the max-prefixes on the Juniper router was being triggered. If I remember correctly. It's a strange return message for the wrong issue.

Although I have seem this on the message boards I am little confused in that the ISP is telling me that there is no authentication enabled on the Juniper and I do not have authentication enabled on the ASR. So what is going on here?
