This is expected. Your login password is necessary for "sudo", to be
able to access the raw partition.
Note that "luksformat" is rather a power-user command line tool.
Ordinarily you would create encrypted partitions with the graphical
"Disks" tool.
Mounting the stick does not involve sudo, and thus does not need your
login password.

Indeed. I'll fix that.

Title:
Mounting encrypted hard disk partitions now asks for the root
password.
Status in “policykit-desktop-privileges” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
The default mount point for memory sticks, sd cards etc. has changed
from /media/<filesystemlabel> to
/run/<username>/media/<filesystemlabel>. At the same time my encrypted
hard disk partition (formatted with luksformat) started asking for my
login password in order to be mounted.
If this is the desired behavior from now on please feel free to close
the bug as "invalid".
