I've not really done very much with Manjaro so I don't know any quick answer. On Slarm64 I built SDDM from source. Maybe the SDDM package that comes on the PinePhone has been altered or cut down? If so compiling it yourself might be the only option.
The sources are here: https://github.com/sddm/sddm
Or it could be another configuration thing.

It's also worth taking a look in /var/log/sddm.log to see how far SDDM gets. On my PinePhone it got stuck interfacing with ConsoleKit but as you're on systemd that shouldn't be an issue.
It says here:
Quote:The configuration file for SDDM can be found at /etc/sddm.conf. See sddm.conf(5) for all options.
On systems controlled by systemd, everything should work out of the box, since SDDM defaults to using systemd-logind for session management. The configuration file will therefore not be created at package installation time. SDDM offers a command for generating a sample configuration file with the default settings if you really want one:
# sddm --example-config > /etc/sddm.conf
One other thing I had to do on Slarm64 is add an "sddm" user to the "video" group but on Manjaro I would've thought that would already be set up...
