*ansible_play_hosts_all *is a list, which is what you say that you want, so
all should be fine.
Unless your script does not really expect a list, which I think is what is
happening.
If that is the case, either adopt your script to handle a list.
Or, turn the list into string, separated by spaces:
*{{ ansible_play_hosts_all | join(" ") }}*
