Thank you, Jonathan, I will try your settings and report
back.  What is `monitor' above -- your actual username in
the system?  Have you an idea how to debug the
authentication failure that I see in lightdm.log and that I
mentioned in the OP:

   pid=1533: Started with service 'lightdm-autologin', username '<my_user>'
   pid=1533: Exited with return value 1
   Session:  Failed during authentification
