If Haktos can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped or having come under that player's control that turn), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, you aren't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.

Wizards of the Coast 24 Jan 2020

If Haktos somehow has no choice made for its ability, its last ability grants it no protection abilities.

Wizards of the Coast 24 Jan 2020
