Did this today. Several of us stood around, trying to open the chest, but we never got the dialog option. Someone who hadn't done it before walked up and got him to spawn. The chest disappeared after and the WQ was complete.
Don't forget to loot the chest after killing Captain Mu'kala, otherwise it won't count for the achievement.
