As mentioned writting this change as root don't need an interaction with the 
agent so this should work, otherwise it's policykit at fault, not the agent. 
(also, you don't have an agent running as root).

Mmh, are you using apparmor with a particular configuration?

Do you have another session started as root?
Do you have another X session started with your user?

Well, any agent should be replaceable, you can kill it and start a different 
one, let's say lxqt-policykit's lxqt-policykit-agent.

You can test this with pkexec bash to avoid mudding the test with the kcm 
authhelper, if it works with lxqt-policykit-agent then the issue is in the kde 
agent, otherwise, please reassign the issue to policykit-1

Happy hacking,
