This works just fine here, out-of-the-box using GNOME3. passwords can be system-owned (stored in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections) which have the benefit of being available during early boot or agent/user-owend, i.e. they are stored in the users keyring. For that the user needs to be logged into the desktop environment. You can configure this easily via nm-connection-editor on a per-connection basis. GNOME3 uses gnome-keyring which is started automatically and unlocked if you have libpam-gnome-keyring installed (assuming the login password and keyring password are the same). libpam-gnome-keyring will most likely not work if you use startx. Fwiw, I strongly recommend to use a display manager. If you use a different desktop environment, you might have to start gnome-keyring manually and unlock the keyring on your own, or don't use a passphrase for your gnome keyring, which should be okayish, since you luks encrypt your home. You can change the password for your gnome keyring using the seahorse tool. The start of gnome-keyring is handled via /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-*.
