It looks like your journalctl -xe output got flooded with failed login attempts from various IP addresses and therefore didn't capture anything telling about httpd.service, at least in the portion shared to this post.

The next-best place to look for any clues here would be your Apache logs, as they may contain more direct information about what went awry: 

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

We also have a useful guide on how to troubleshoot Apache - along with checking your logs there are other suggestions within:
