Solution

customer need to have the fix of PR1721928 . with this fix , auto-negotiation is disabled on interfaces with SFP-LX10/LH
 

as workaround , customer can use one of the below options to recover from this issue:

1-  add loopback knob and rollback it again from the interface

root@ACX5448# set interfaces xe-0/0/5 gigether-options loopback

root@ACX5448# commit

commit complete

root@ACX5448# rollback 1

load complete

[edit]

root@ACX5448# show | compare

[edit interfaces xe-0/0/2 gigether-options]

- loopback;

[edit]

root@ACX5448# commit

OR

2- Move SFP-LX10 to any other port >24 hence you can disable auto-negotiation from CLI according KB80789 [juniper.net]
 

root@ACX5448# show | compare

[edit interfaces xe-0/0/30 gigether-options]

- auto-negotiation;

+ no-auto-negotiation;
