I've tried to reproduce this by running
$ pkexec echo bla
On both my Pinephone running Mobian, as well as on my Librem 5 running PureOS
the polkit authentication dialog is presented.
If you send a SIGUSR1 to phosh you can enable debug logging.
You should find something like the following in your journal:
Jan 17 18:10:04 hades phosh[1264]: New prompt for Authentication is needed to
run `/usr/bin/echo' as the super user
Jan 17 18:10:04 hades phosh[1264]: Adding PHOSH_STATE_MODAL_SYSTEM_PROMPT to
shells state. New state: PHOSH_STATE_MODAL_SYSTEM_PROMPT
While I've not tried it with riseup this test should already indicate whether
polkit authentication itself is working in phosh itself.

Hi Praveen,
I maintain riseup-vpn in debian. As you might see in the dependency list, it depends on
policykit as "policykit-1-gnome | polkit-1-auth-agent"
If this is not functional for you, there is nothing I can do from riseup-vpn side to make
it work. As it works for Evangelos, please kindly check if this works as well for you and ensure
that this is not a local issue.
Thank you
Nilesh

polkit-1-auth-agent provided by phosh is not sufficient for riseup-vpn,
in that case either the missing features should be added to it or
riseup-vpn should have an explicit dependency on policykit-1-gnome
(instead of the optional dependency).
