Okay, I have installed Debian Buster encrypted lvm using virt-install,
done the commands to encrypt the boot partition.
If I boot the VM with qemu directly, it works as I would expected to but
as long as I use Libvirt it does not.

With apparmor disabled, I as you conclude that the issue is libvirt related.

I'm not seeing anything in the log that would indicate where the issue lies.

Installing the VM with encrypted lvm is straight forward making the root
partition encrypted and working well.
