RE: star delta starter problems
The star contactor shall short circuit the wires coming from the motor and there should not be any voltage when motor is in star.
Check if the star contactor has pulled in and that the 'other side' has the necessary straps. If not, the motor will not start.

Just to have a clear common point of reference, look at the diagram below. Yours may be slightly different but would be functionally the same:
So are you saying that you have 440V on one side of KM1, but not on the side where everything needs to be shorted together?
Also, for that you function, you would need for KM1 and KM3 to close at the same time. If KM3 is not closing, then KM1 closing would be pointless.
