If that 'fixes' it the problem is likely the DS180D20 that causes the esp to enter flash mode, i.e. GPIO0 is drawn low the first, but crucial, milliseconds of power-up.
I have tried to give it power, but then the ESP power led stop glowing at all.

I just tested an esp-1 with just Vcc and Gnd connected, the red power led is holding steady (blue TX - not even one flash)
This indicates you have a power issue. What does your voltmeter say?
