Have you ever had to pretend to be enthusiastic about project decisions you didn't agree with? Have you ever had to mask what you would like to say to prevent conflict with a problematic manager or co-worker? Have you ever had to force yourself to be polite, cheerful, and friendly to a customer who really didn't deserve the courtesy?

When you put it that way, authenticity sounds like a terrible idea. But I don’t think authenticity needs to be defined in opposition to professionalism.
