Confirming the .jar file exists only shows that the various code
components (Actions, Generators, etc.) are available.  You still have to
make sure that your configuration files (cocoon.xconf, sitemap.xmap) are
set up to make use of those components.

Not necessarily so; see below.

I've never used the authentication framework, but from looking at the
source code it appears the "auth-protect" action type is typically
mapped to the AuthAction class.  Here are the action definitions
distributed with the authentication-fw block:

<map:action name="auth-protect"
src="org.apache.cocoon.webapps.authentication.acting.AuthAction"/>
<map:action name="auth-login"
src="org.apache.cocoon.webapps.authentication.acting.LoginAction"/>
<map:action name="auth-logout"
src="org.apache.cocoon.webapps.authentication.acting.LogoutAction"/>
<map:action name="auth-loggedIn"
src="org.apache.cocoon.webapps.authentication.acting.LoggedInAction"/>

Note that to find this I didn't have to "speak Java" at all.  I just
browsed into src/blocks/authentication-fw/conf, and looked at the files
in that directory; the snippet above is pasted straight out of
authentication-act.xmap.  The files in that directory define the
configuration values that are normally added to cocoon.xconf and
sitemap.xmap when the block is built.  You'll need to make sure they
have been added to your versions of those files, since it seems yours
are out of sync.
