KDE has an option to automount known devices when they are plugged in or
on boot, while others give the popup.

On the system that works correctly, when I insert the USB I get:

I'd rather (for *KNOWN* usb-sticks) put an entry in fstab.

I'm fairly confident that you do, yes.

"Udisks uses polkit to handle permissions.  Make sure each user is in
the plugdev group"

None of my systems have even  acct-group/plugdev installed
and no user is in plugdev group

Two of the system mounts USB automatically (correctly) when USB is plugged-in, 
one updated last Dec. and one yesterday.
Third computer upgraded yesterday but USB doesn't auto-mount automatically.

One of my remote computer stop automounting USB all of a sudden as well, even 
though I did not change any setting it happen after I installed 
gnome-extra/zenity

My first guess is permissions.  Can you mount the drive in Thunar by
clicking on it in the side panel?

On my other older system USB  automount works correctly and I'm not in a group 
plugdev

Yes, when the usb-icon appears on desktop, right clicking on it allows me to 
mount it.

On the system that works correctly, when I insert the USB I get:

[822766.172299]  sda: sda1
[822766.173269] sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk
[822776.321898] EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. 
Opts: errors=remount-ro

On the newly updated system I get only:

[12095.359150]  sdb: sdb1
[12095.359219] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
