Those error messages are from systemd-tty-ask-password-agent not systemctl.
Do you actually encounter any problems or is this mostly cosmetic?

Why does a systemctl call trigger the start of
systemd-tty-ask-password-agent for you? Do you have a special way to
start your dist-upgrade?
Can you provide steps how this issue can be reproduced?
