Oh, you would have to set Blank After timeout to maximum, 720 minutes,
too.

Title:
  screenlock does not dpms off when screensaver is disabled

Status in xscreensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Desktop Environments like OpenBox and LXDE (in Lubuntu and Debian
  LXDE) rely on xscreensaver-command -lock to lock the screen. When
  locking the screen, the screen should turn off (e.g. backlight off).

  But this only works if you have "Blank Screen Only" with a timeout
  selected in xscreensaver-demo. If you disable the screensaver, lock
  will turn the screen black but won't turn it off (backlight off)
  anymore.

  This is undesirable. In certain usecases don't want to have a
  screensaver or blank screen after a timeout, e.g. for a media player.
  But we DO want to turn the screen off (completely off) when we lock
  the screen.

  (Otherwise the HDMI channel remains 'open' and a multisource display
  device will keep selecting the black screen when another
  source/player/platform/console reboots and detaches it's HDMI signal
  for a few seconds.)
