Then it is no wonder, you do not have tty access.

console tty is not LXC specific, every standard Linux should have it.

If there is no /etc/init/tty1.conf, then create one. It should contain:

# tty1 - shell 
#
# This service maintains a shell on tty1 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn
exec /bin/openvt -elfc 1 -- su -l
