Did some research about it and turns out it's a situation of KDE software not
polling for the right permissions for some actions. It mounts and decrypts
correctly through other non-KDE software.

I found I think a reddit post (lost the bookmark unfortunately) with some
commands to try or some text file to edit (don't remember exactly what it was,
tried a couple solutions before finding out one that worked) adding permissions
for my user for mounting encrypted devices (mounting unencrypted devices works
fine, and the encrypted partition here doesn't require sudo privileges to
access).

Afterwards, mounting it works correctly from the system tray icon.
