Definitely rule out vet issues first - that's most likely since he was previously housebroken. Any sort of punishment is more likely to result in him hiding from you (and less likely to eliminate on walks). Does he like the over-the-top cheerleading outside? I would probably spend a month or two associating elimination on command when you take him out on leash (give your command when you're 80% sure he's about to poop, then follow it with a low-key 'good boy' and a treat). Once you've conditioned him to it, use the command on the last walk of the night, randomizing the treat reward over the course of a couple of months until you can fade it out. If he eliminates then let him have the run of the house, if he doesn't he sleeps in the crate. If he's still having accidents even if he's emptied out just before bed I think you're stuck with the crate.
