When ICMP works but TCP doesn't, that is often a sign of an MTU problem.

Especially if you are running VXLAN, you need room for the tunnel
headers. If your MTU is 1500 on the wire, then the VM MTU must be 1450
or smaller to make room for the VXLAN headers. Check
/etc/neutron/dnsmasq-neutron.conf, and make sure this option is set to
at least 50 bytes less than your physical MTU:

/etc/neutron/dnsmasq-neutron.conf:
dhcp-option-force=26,1400
