This definitely works, you can look at the booking example for a functioning example. I suggest that you set a breakpoint in your authenticator.authenticate() method, then once its hit set another breakpoint in BijectionInterceptor.aroundInvoke() (after invocation.proceed() is called) to ensure that the interceptor is indeed being invoked for your component, and then another breakpoint in Component.outject() to ensure that the component's attributes get outjected.
