Lightdm needs the slick greeter in order to work correctly with Orca. I believe Ubuntu may be using the gtk greeter, which requires manually editing a configuration file in order to get the screen reader talking, unless they fixed that in Ubuntu. I know there is a long-standing Launchpad bug for this. if alt+super+s doesn't start Orca at the lightdm screen as expected, it is starting lightdm-gtk-greeter rather than lightdm-slick-greeter. Perhaps the easiest way to fix this would be via ssh, running something like

sudo apt install lightdm-slick-greeter

sudo apt remove lightdm-gtk-greeter

Hope this helps.
