Andrei, please read again the submitter report, he explicitely shows
that `fail2ban` reads `/var/log/auth.log`, thus I guess the problem is
not `systemd`-related (he also has `rsyslog` installed, thus
`/var/log/auth.log` *is* present).
NB, the `systemd` issue on a default Debian 12/bookworm has been fixed
one week ago already and it is easily applied to `jail.local`:

Alban, 0.9.6-2 is quite an old version and you reported the bug more
than 5 years, can you try on a more up-to-date Debian?
Thx, bye,
