I still have no idea what this stuff is but I found a great cleaner for it at Whole Foods! It's called bac-out from biokleen. It's literally the only thing that completely got the stickiness off 😐
Same issue here! Bathroom painted satin white by handyman. Have washed the walls with TSP twice, still leeching. Paint was Delux brand. Contacted the store, they never heard of this issue before. Seeing all the feedback I now think the person who painted rushed the job and did not wait long enough between coats... it's so gross.

Surfactant is an ingredient in latex paint that reduces the paint’s surface tension, giving it more stability and allowing it to last longer. However, the moisture in your bathroom during a hot shower can make the surfactant separate from the paint and seep through, showing up on the surface of the paint as darker spots or streaks.
I painted our bathroom after 10 years of living in our home, it never did this until I painted it, now it does. I am going to sand it back slightly and paint with acrylic paint and see what happens. My feeling is its the brand paint I used and it didnt dry properly before I used the bathroom, I painted in cooler weather
