I am afraid I can't reproduce this. I have just tried a VM (lightdm, xfce latest dbus, polkitd
libpam-elogind and libsystemd) and everything seems to as expected.

I don't see anything in the logs you provided either (other than the
InteractiveAuthorizationRequired failure). Have you got any custom polkit rules?
The latest polkicykit-1 removed the pkla compatibility[1]

I will keep trying.
