Unfortunately it doesn't work that way, you need to call NetworkManager::Connection::secrets() for the connection you want secrets for and pass the setting type as a parameter (in your case it would be "NetworkManager::Setting::Security8021x" enum). This would return you a QDBusPendingReply so you need to wait for the reply to finish or connect to a signal finished() and do whatever you want to do with the secrets. Using NetworkManager::Security8021xSetting::password() would work only in case you

already have secrets as a part of the setting.

You can check how everything work in plasma-nm [1]. If you want to check how to get secrets go to libs/editor/connectiondetailseditor.cpp. You can also ping me anytime on IRC on #solid channel.
