You need to modify org.freedesktop.UDisks2.policy (probably
at /usr/share/polkit-1/actions but this could be distro specific)
Search in for org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount, then scroll down to <defaults>
block and replace whatever auth rule there is with "yes", like this:
<allow_any>yes</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
