Which of the one or up to two decades old GS724T are you referring to here?

This is probably correct.

Can't follow you here, not sure on how we should help then.
Always confused about the design behind such ideas. dot1x is for the "last" or first device in the line by design. If magically forwarding this, many issues and risks arise. Say you have some more "core" switches taking care of dot1x, but connect many clients like on a hub (or for the sake you name it unmanaged) each of these devices can transmit EAPOL-Logoff frames ... and you end with all connections on that core switch terminated.

Disable Dot1x on a GS724T switch, you can follow these steps:
Connect to the switch: Use a computer or device connected to the GS724T switch either directly or through the network. Access the switch's management interface: Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the switch in the address bar. If you don't know the IP address, you may need to check the switch's documentation or consult your network administrator. Log in to the management interface: Enter your username and password to log in to the switch's management interface. If you haven't set up custom login credentials, try using the default username and password provided by the manufacturer (e.g., "admin" for both). Navigate to the Dot1x settings: Once logged in, navigate to the "Security" or "Authentication" section of the switch's management interface. Look for settings related to Dot1x or 802.1x authentication. Disable Dot1x: Locate the option to disable Dot1x and uncheck or toggle the corresponding checkbox or switch. Save the changes. Confirm the changes: After disabling Dot1x, it's a good practice to verify the configuration changes on the switch's management interface. Check if Dot1x is indeed disabled and ensure the switch is functioning as desired.
