I would guess `xautolock` might be started before X is
running/accessible by your user.

Does the journal contain any useful log messages?  Note that there is a
race condition that some messages might not be logged as part of the
user service[1], so you might have to check all log messages and cannot
rely on journalctl's `--user-unit` option.
