You not only need polkitd daemon running, but you also need a "PolicyKit authentication agent" in your user session, which is responsible for show the authentication dialogs. Such a service is e.g. provided by gnome-shell (if you use GNOME 3), by kdebase-workspace (if you use KDE) or polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 (from policykit-1-gnome). The policykit-1-gnome package uses an xdg autostart file. Most likely your xmonad WM does not read that autostart files, so you need to start /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 manually. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
