Hey,

works for my setup. I can click on links and they open in TorBrowser. 

kmail 25.08.3
up-to-date torbrowser

but I know it was broken the last year once with a plasma version update. What 
I did was to choose a different default browser and recreated the torbowser 
script. 
I would recommend that you choose a different default browser and make sure 
that `xdg-open URL` works. If that works do a restart and than test again.

Regards,

hefee
