I exactly faced this problem on Ubuntu 18.04.1 and was not able to enable the rabbitmq_management.

In my case mistake I did was to instal erlang after rabbitmq-server so it was not working fine. (not fully sure why but was getting exact same problem)

As solution I just uninstalled the rabbitmq-server, installed the rabbitmq-server again and all worked just fine below are the complete steps if can help others.

sudo apt-get remove rabbitmq-server
sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq-server
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server
sudo systemctl status rabbitmq-server (to check status only)
sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
sudo rabbitmqctl add_user admin admin
sudo rabbitmqctl set_user_tags admin administrator
