Suppose a Non-Archimedean absolute value on K has a unique extension to every finite field extension. Any K-isomorphism K(αi​)→K(αj​) between conjugate roots pulls the absolute value back to an extension on the source field, which must be the given one. Thus ∣h(αi​)∣=∣h(αj​)∣ for every h∈K[X]. This argument includes inseparable irreducible polynomials: no transitive Galois action or completeness assumption is needed.
