Just to add it to the end of the list:

Collection 2.7.0 is affected by a bug: You need to explicit set use_ssl to true. For example:

- name: Create tenant
      aci_tenant:
        host: xyz.apic.com
        username: admin
        password: supersecret
        validate_certs: false
        state:present
        use_ssl: true

The default value for use_ssl was removed in version 2.7.0
