I didn't do this, and it works anyway:

   # cat /etc/sudoers | grep crypt

Not quite,  it does ask  for MY password,  but only for the  first mount
after a login.  And yes, under "Application Autostart" of XFCE I have

   /usr/bin/veracrypt --background-task

If I remember correctly,  when configuring VeraCrypt under Windows there
is a checkbox for autostarting it on login.

My encrypted USB sticks  (I have two  identical ones,  just in case) are
NTFS formatted.   And yes,  naming files  requires some caution.   Under
Linux files "A" and "a" can coexist, under Windows they can't.

Sincerely,
