No need to disable your tests. I found the solution.

The idea is to start pcscd with polkit disabled.

In debian/tests/control you add (for both tests):
Restrictions: needs-sudo

In your test files cli and lib you add:
# setup pcscd with NO polkit control to avoid " Access denied." errors
echo "PCSCD_ARGS=--disable-polkit" | sudo tee /etc/default/pcscd
sudo systemctl restart pcscd.service
