Try to set the time +3 GMT or +4 GMT. After you have a suitable time to make another attempt to confirm the exchange.You can also turn off time zones at all and set the time completely manually. Try different values. Perhaps the problem is solved when the invalid time is in line with a certain time zone.
Enabling automatic time zone definition
On the contrary, you can try to enable the automatic detection of the belt if it is disabled on your phone. It is also done through the time zone settings on your phone. After changing these settings, try to confirm the exchange. After confirmation, you can change the time settings back.
Disable Mobile Authenticator
Alternatively, you can turn off the Steam Guard mobile authenticator. How to do this - read here. This will allow you to get rid of the problem with time when the exchange is confirmed, as the confirmation will now be performed through your email, and not through a mobile phone. Of course, this will lead to the fact that to make the exchange you will have to wait 15 days, but on the other hand the exchange will be performed and the error does not prevent this. In the future, you can try to enable Steam Guard re-and check, a mistake remained over time or not.
