I faced the same issue some time ago, not sure when. Indeed the issue was with
swaylock complaining about setuid. My system configuration contains the
following simpler entry, which uses screen-locker-configuration:

    (operating-system
      ...
      (services
        (cons* 
          ...
          (service screen-locker-service-type
                   (screen-locker-configuration
                     (name "swaylock")
                     (program (file-append swaylock "/bin/swaylock"))
                     (using-pam? #t)
                     (using-setuid? #f)))
          ...
          %desktop-services))
      ...
      )
