Do these users have their own homepage settings from previous
use/customization?  You will need to reset that, or just clear their
homepage preferences in the Attributes table in the database.

HomepageComponents doesn't forcibly turn off components in 4.0.
It will in 4.2

With 4.0.1, you could be running into some bug (4.0.17 is current) but
start by resetting homepage settings for one of your external auth
users and seeing if that fixes it.

Homepages are also cached in the session, so you need to log in and
out.
