You should only set one of WAGTAIL_FRONTEND_LOGIN_URL and WAGTAIL_FRONTEND_LOGIN_TEMPLATE, not both.

WAGTAIL_FRONTEND_LOGIN_TEMPLATE is used if you want to use Wagtail's own login view (located at the URL /_util/login/), but want to customise its template. If you're going down this route, a path like 'base/login.html' is correct - Django will search within all template directories for a file matching this path.

WAGTAIL_FRONTEND_LOGIN_URL is used if you want to provide your own view code. To use this, you'll need to write the view function (most likely inheriting from Django's LoginView) and register it in the URL config, then point WAGTAIL_FRONTEND_LOGIN_URL at the resulting URL. In this case, your view function will be responsible for rendering an appropriate template, so WAGTAIL_FRONTEND_LOGIN_TEMPLATE will not come into play.
