Sounds like instead of attaching the breakaway system to the brake output circuit by teeing into it you severed the wire and ran the breakaway kit directly to the circuit. This would mean the brake controller would have to somehow get past the breakaway to get to the assemblies.

Check the wiring you made and I bet you'll find the problem on that circuit.

I attached a diagram for you to use as a reference as well.
