I purged sddm and reinstalled after reboot, mandatory sddm-theme-breeze
is installed, so is maui.
However, I do not see /etc/sddm.conf file
I have not set sddm as default manager, and will reboot.
Will post next, sddm log after crash.

Having to set the default-display-manager in order to start the
display manager is working as intended.
The black screen is clearly not. It could be useful to have just the
sddm related logs of this last error. But there are some known black
screen bugs see the upstream related issues here:
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/labels/crash%2Fwhitescreen
So the next question is, what video card are you using? Which video
driver is that using? Is it showing the mouse cursor in the black screen?
Could you test changing the theme to a simpler one, like maui,
installing the sddm-theme-maui package and setting the current theme
to it in the /etc/sddm.conf file?
If the file is not created simply adding this to it would be enough:
[Theme]
Current=maui
Happy hacking,
