What happens if you hover the mouse over a line of text in the buffer? I
think, it doesn't work in an empty line, there must be some content for
it to work. Do you get an error message?

Make sure your vim is built with +balloon_eval (Use :version to
confirm).

Use :verbose set balloonexpr? ballooneval? to confirm where it was last
set and that it is set to your values above and not to something
differently by a (filetype) plugin.
