well qtkeychain tries to detect once the backend and falls back to other if 
the backend does not answer. So you may have success if you first request a 
password via seahorse and than afterwards start nextcloud-client?

well the configure part in the build is quite simple: HAVE_LIBSECRET=1 if the 
lib is found and you see from the builts that this flag is set:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?
pkg=qtkeychain&arch=arm64&ver=0.9.1-1&stamp=1549301996&raw=0

Here the entry points to the source. Maybe with more debug messages you find 
out what is going on there:

https://sources.debian.org/src/qtkeychain/0.9.0-2/keychain_unix.cpp/#L135
https://sources.debian.org/src/qtkeychain/0.9.0-2/libsecret.cpp/#L196
