The behavior just happens on my laptop if the screen is expanded to the second screen. Mirror the first screen to the second keeps plasmashell alive while connecting the HDMI beamer

Could you produce a backtrace of the crashing plasmashell?

To do this you'll need to install, at least, plasma-workspace-dbgsym package from the debug repositories [1], (quite probably you'll also need the kscreen-dbgsym, and libkf5screen7-dbgsym packages to produce a useful output), run plasmashell inside a gdb session:
killall plasmashell
gdb --args plasmashell --nofork 2>&1 | tee /tmp/plasmashell.dbg
(gdb) run
...
(gdb) thread apply all bt
...

Please, check if tha produced output shows the correspoding filenames and line numbers for the relevant parts of the backtrace, if not, please add the corresponding -dbg or -dbgsym of the referenced program/library and try to produce this output again.

And then send the /tmp/plasmashell.dbg file to this bug report.

Happy hacking,
