It could be difficult to see but the quest requires you to click the to prisons on either side of the room. They look like glass but dont light up.

If anyone is having trouble with this, you can use your hearthstone to return to the questgiver.
My location bugged out to the other side of the wall when I logged out, having not completed the quest, but a hearthstone puts you right back where you need to be.
Hope this helps.
Why imprison Altruis of all people? He was one of a handful of demon hunters who didn't go power mad back in Outland.

What to do
Description
We cannot fight our way out of the Vault alone. Two of your allies, Kayn Sunfury and Altruis the Sufferer, are imprisoned within this room. Free them with haste. Their strength will be of great use to us.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
