This would mean that the following command isn't correctly working;
server halt command: sudo mythshutdown --shutdown

the shutdown is working, can I verify if the value
"MythshutdownWakeupTime" is set correctly?

by the way when I run mythshutdown --startup I have no output.

We are getting closer ;)
