Maybe this will help? Add to
/etc/rc.conf
Bash: 
autofs_enable="YES"
I refused automatic mounting on XFCE4 - I also had similar errors. I mount everything manually. It's more reliable and simpler.
And
/boot/loader.conf
Bash: 
fusefs_load="YES"
fuse_load="YES"

Thanks, tied all suggestions, but did not help, still "not authorized"
May be its all i did install freebsd from
FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso
but not
FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
?
 
# pkg install fusefs-exfat fusefs-ext2 fusefs-ntfs exfat-utils
# cat /etc/auto_master
Code: 
/media          -media          -nosuid
# cat /etc/devd.conf
Code: 
notify 100 {
    match "system" "GEOM";
    match "subsystem"    "DEV";
    action "/usr/sbin/automount -c";
};
# cat /etc/sysctl.conf
Code: 
vfs.usermount=1
sysrc devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"
sysrc kld_list+="fusefs"

# cat /etc/devfs.conf
Code: 
[localrules=5]
add path "da[1-3]p*" mode 0660 group operator
service automount restart
service automountd restart
service autounmountd restart

Why are you using sudo(8) when you are already root?

Remove polkit_enable from rc.conf, it has no use. Polkit/polkitd got integrated with DBus a long time ago, it's not a 'separate' daemon any more.

snd_hda_load can be removed too, any *_load (to load kernel modules) should go in loader.conf. But there's no need to explicitly load snd_hda(4), it's already included with the GENERIC kernel.

As for your other issues, login as a 'normal' user, not root. Then in a terminal enter ck-list-sessions and post the output. And the output from id.

May be its all i did install freebsd from
FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso
but not
FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
?

Are you 100% sure that you saved polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { line through }); line in The rule section of the linked page as
/usr/local/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-udisks2.rules
and restarted your computer?

The contents of the rule file in the page seems OK, but FreeBSD doesn't have /etc/polkit-1 directory (of course, including its subdirectories) and if you've installed sysutils/polkit directly or as a dependency of something, you should have /usr/local/etc/polkit-1/rules.d directory. So need re-reading Linuxism to BSDism.

Thanks. But better i will try reinstall os from full
FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
in my previous case i use
FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso
and i am fight with installation full xfce de, because after installation from ...disc1.iso i had naked tty only, maybe its my mistake.

i have emty folder
/usr/local/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/
and according instruction add rule file 10-udisks2.rules into
/usr/local/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/
 
Well, it's your time of course. But it's an exercise in futility. It's the exact same version of FreeBSD and the packages on the DVD are now almost three months old and outdated. The installer won't magically configure XFCE for you and you end up at exactly the same point you are now.
