Thanks to Everybody replying to my request, it is very appreciated. At the end the problem was I the D-Bus policy that I forgot to install. After adding it to the correct place the RAUC service started correctly.

Also take a look at what the D-Bus daemon is logging. Perhaps the D-Bus policy [2] is not installed correctly?
