The OP did explicitly say he wanted to use the NOPASSWD option, and his
sudoers file shows it in use, currently commented. Your example will
still ask for a password, and anyway it's either/or: you can either add
yourself to the sudo group or add your name to sudoers, you don't need
both. The sudo group is just a quick and simple way of giving the same
set of [presumably low-level] privileges to a number of people, and
the sudo sudoers entry really shouldn't be NOPASSWD, as by default it
gives full root privileges.

I don't use NOPASSWD myself, so I can't give a definitive answer (as
in 'this works for me') to the question, but presumably there's a
semantic issue somewhere. Visudo can only pick up syntax errors, it
can't tell what you meant to achieve.
