Is this only drywall or some kind of autoclaved aerated concrete?

Find a wall stud, relocate it there. Cover hold with picture of a dog... Why a dog? Because reasons!
Why half ass it when you can quarter ass it...

You used the wrong fastener.
Pic related is appropriate for that kind of wall.
It is designed for little load, as more would rip a piece of drywall on pulling.

Build time machine. Go back to when they built the house. After it's framed and before drywall, nail up blocking every where you could possibly want to hang something. See? Easy.

Ok seriously now. Towel bar will always fail no matter what drywall fastener you use. If you can't move it to a stud you need to reenforce it. Cut a hole, slip a piece of 1/4 inch plywood say 3"x6" into hole and screw above and below. Spackle and finish. Attach your mounts. This spreads the load out and gives your mounting screws purchase.

Toggle bolts brotha.

Pump it full of gap filling adhesive

Drill 1/2" hole through the wall, insert long bolt with support plate from the other side.

If you're going to go through that much effort, do it right.
Cut out a section of drywall overlapping the studs, reinforce between studs, new drywall over that... tape/mud, texture, paint.

I used to subscribe to the spackle-fix jobs, now I just cut out the fucking drywall.
