Solving things privately doesn't help the community.
Additionally it doesn't help solving the problem, since it's now opaque
to others what the problem might be.

I've suggested this as the outputs I've got privately hinted that the
console (as in virsh console) didn't get to asking for the password,
while the manually-started-qemu did.
Thus the problem actually doesn't have to do with encryption or
wahatver, but the console doesn't plainly work.

Try adding:
<loader type='rom'>/usr/share/seabios/bios.bin</loader>
to <os/> so that qemu actually uses SGA bios.
