Thanks anyway!
I tried the Live image, I can't reproduce the issue because, although many settings I tried, the monitor never goes in standby. The LED light of the monitor never become yellow so I can't verify whether "plasmashell" it crashes when exiting from a locked screen with dpms active.
I notice that the Live runs Wayland server, but neither the "kscreen-doctor --dpms off" command it works, the screen became black but the power status of the monitor stays on (LED light white).
Maybe a solution is to run a script when exiting dpms mode, is it possible to trigger this event in Xorg? Does anybody know if it is possible? I don't want to migrate to Wayland.
