Well, I figure you should look for PAM level debugging, not
systemd level debugging for this. Contact the PAM community for help
on that.

But do note again that distros vary greatly on PAM, and while "-" is
typically used on Fedora-based distros, IIRC other distros don't know
or use that concept. Please ask your distro for help.
