I'm pretty sure it's an XFCE 4.20 thing, with 4.20 "dropping" Light Locker (see previous quote).
Thx. I'll wait and hopefully others do a short check too. Could be caused by the change from Xfce 4.18 to Xfce 4.20 or it could be a sheer Debian thing? If confirmed ....
Could then place a report at https://gitlab.xfce.org, but as we are on Debian, the prime address is a bug report.

I've been testing Testing, and I can confirm that light-locker is installed, xfce4-screensaver isn't, and the screen is locked when "Put to sleep after" and "Switch off after" are ticked in the Display tab.
The system also attempts to suspend after a period with nothing ticked, and screen lock is attempted but fails (as it does in Bookworm), presumably due to the same issue.

I think the only way to change this behaviour would be to configure light-locker directly.
xfce4-screensaver has been added to Testing. I tried uninstalling light-locker and installing xfce4-screensaver and the extra options in the XFCE tour screenshots appeared. It didn't have any effect, probably because a reboot with changes would be needed, which isn't possible in a live image.
The XFCE tour says xfce4-screensaver is going to handle screen locking in 4.20. I don't know if Debian Testing will switch to xfce4-screensaver at some point. Probably worth checking if there is a bug report for this.
Another thing I can look at is the xfce4-session config file in Trixie to see what the lock command is now.
