+Ok so i did try again & noticed that you have speedboot disabled [1]
+The only way to get a working session is indeed to disable speedboot 
+with systemd because without that several things are not working with 
+autologin :
+no polkit authentification, no sound ( pulseaudio provides a « factice 
+audio output » ) & sometimes the nm is not detected as working by the 
+plasma-applet-nm in the systray.
+
+There's no need to have a passwordless login by the way :)
