It's not polkit that's the problem here. It's D-Bus service activation that's not able to launch nm-dispatcher or wpa_supplicant or polkit. Perhaps that's because of something like selinux or apparmor preventing the main dbus-daemon process from running them, or perhaps permissions aren't set on them correctly, or perhaps the paths in the service activation files in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ aren't correct. Activation is a feature of dbus that actually runs the given program the first time a request is made to that program's D-Bus interface. On systemd systems, that's handled by systemd. On non-systemd systems, D- Bus has a helper that the main dbus-daemon execs which then runs the given service binary.
