First of all sorry for the breaking change.

I am pretty new to guix and did not know about screen-locker-service.
How I managed to make this to work is by setting a custom pam system
service :

(define-public swaylock-pam-service-type
  (service-type (name 'swaylock)
                (extensions (list (service-extension pam-root-service-type
                                                     (const (list (pam-service
                                                                   (name 
"swaylock")
                                                                   (auth (list
                                                                          
(pam-entry
                                                                           
(control "include")
                                                                           
(module "greetd"))))))))))
                (description "Swaylock pam configuration")
                (default-value '())))

I do not know the policy in case of breaking changes, but if it is
easier we can roll back this change maybe ?

Best
