Works for me on KDE neon on Ubuntu 22.04.

I suggest you install a newer Plasma version which will come with a new xdg-desktop-portal-kde

Indeed, these old versions are out of support. I would strongly recommend upgrading to 22.04. If you can't, then please direct bug reports to your distro, as they have taken on the mantle of providing support for old versions.
