You need to edit the file /etc/systemd/logind.conf and change the following line to this:
HandleLidSwitch=poweroff
You will need to run systemctl restart systemd-logind.service or restart your laptop to enable the setting.

@user1758935 this could be a bug with your hardware. I am seeing that some people have to take additional steps. Confirm that you havepm-utils,xfce4-power-manager, and edit your post to include all of your hardware. Make, Model, chipset, graphics, usb devices, etc.

After logind.conf edit, I had to re-change laptop lid behavior in xfce4-power-manager and then it worked.
