Is the Hadith: "O Allah, benefit me with what You have taught me, and teach me what benefits me, and increase me in knowledge. Praise be to Allah in every circumstance, and I seek refuge with Allah from the state of the people of the Fire" authentic?

The aforementioned has a weak chain of transmission (), revolving around Musa bin Ubaidah, who is considered weak, and Muhammad bin Thabit, who is unknown. However, the meaning of the Hadith is sound, as supplicating for beneficial knowledge and an increase thereof, praising Allah in all circumstances, and seeking refuge from the state of the people of Hellfire are all meanings that have been reported in other authentic Hadiths.
