I would start by switching to the libxl libvirt driver and making sure
that libvirt works correctly on its own.
I would avoid virt-manager and test using virtsh instead.

If this configuration fails for you, what is the error that libxl
and/or libvirt reports?

Once you have a working libvirt+libxl setup then you might want to try
out OpenStack on top of it.
