Any idea what could be done to get it working?

Setting the correct System date and time.
It turns out authentication requires establishing a secure connection with Google’s server. The SSL certificate contains a expiration date which would be compared against the system date of the Android system. If the system date is too far in the past or in the future, the validation would be failed, thus the connection cannot be established. This is a security measures of the HTTPS connection, so check your system date next time encountering such strange error message.

In what country is your ISP? Here in the Phil, its the same problem because of the unreliable network. My workaround is to use some VPN services to remedy frequent disconnects.
I currently use DroidVPN, free version limited to 100mb a day. Try it and comment on the result.
I updated the date/time on my phone and then I logged into google and turned off two step. Was able to sign in just fine. Went back and turned back on 2 step. Hope this helps!
It's not in any way obvious but turning off 2-Step Verification worked for me. It's a nuisance and a security risk but it works in the short term.
Go to your google account and turn off 2 Step Verification . . I had same problem not being able to add google account to Galaxy Ace 8530i and only solution I found was to turn off 2 Step Verification, log into my account, then turn it back on.
