Installing gdm3 or lightdm takes care of it, then login is possible and Mate starts as expected. Installing gdm3: sudo apt-get install gdm3 Installing LightDM: apt-get install accountsservice lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter (from https://flexion.org/posts/2014-06-mate-desktop-on-debian-wheezy.html) I added a note about this in the Debian documentation at: https://wiki.debian.org/Mate
As MATE can also be used in setups where no local X11 is installed (but e.g. X2Go as a remote desktop solution), we refrained from pulling in too many unnecessary depencies with the MATE packages.
The solution indeed is installing a display manager that takes are of the management of the local display.
