If so, that also seems unreasonable as there is no obligation on the withdrawing state to agree to anything. In those circumstances an agreement couldn't be "concluded".

I think the EU would argue they have done that. They negotiated a deal with the “U.K. Government” and which the government concluded an agreement.
There is nothing there that says the EU must conclude an agreement with the nations Parliament.
This where the whole thing is off the rails, we have Gina Miller to thank for it.
There is no way a deal can be done now with the UK Parliament in its current state. The only form of Brexit available at the moment is to leave without a withdrawal agreement and negotiate a deal from outside the EU.
