This isn't a duplicate of #13742.
MAC addresses added as block entries are not blocked. Hosts are still redirected to the login page and can login and that pass the captive portal.
The MAC address added do not appear either in the captive portal anchors or in the main ruleset. Nor does it prevent the host traffic being redirected.

This regression was introduced in 22.05. Fix:
https://gitlab.netgate.com/pfSense/pfSense/-/merge_requests/990
Previously, MAC addresses weren't actually blocked in pf, but rather they were prevented from authenticating via the Captive Portal login page. This allowed "blocked" clients to still access DNS, NTP, and any other services on the firewall itself. Now that pf has the capability to block at L2, this can be improved. With this MR, block rules are added to completely block the address (excluding DHCP since DHCP bypasses pf).

Previously, ....
But is that they way to block ?
'Hard MAC blocking' with pf firewall rules, now possible, is an new possibility, and needs more GUI control.
It will disturb the end-user as when she/he could connect to the portal network : DHCP still works, but nothing more will happen on the device used. This will bring confusing.
In the past, if the user uses a MAC that is listed as block ed, passes authentication, she/he is informed what happened as the error message gets set to "This MAC address has been blocked".
Right now, it's just a silly bug, a variable is used in the elseif that is never set, the elseif always yields false, this is what broke current MAC block behavior.
See /usr/local/captiveportal/index.php line 181 and ask yourself : where is $macfilter" set ? No where !

Good feedback - I fixed the regression and kept the old behavior. The new blocking functionality will be a new optional feature on a separate redmine issue: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13784
