No, I assumed one would be installed in the dependencies.

Installing gdm3 or lightdm takes care of it, then login is possible and
Mate starts as expected.

Installing gdm3:

sudo apt-get install gdm3

Installing LightDM:

apt-get install accountsservice lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter

I added a note about this in the Debian documentation at:
