What would happen under these circumstances?

Well if unlocking your phone for CBSA staff will get you fired, then you shouldn't carry it across the border.

Aside from that, that agreement doesn't hold any water as far as the CBSA is concerned. If your employer made you sign an agreement saying you couldn't divulge any illegal operations within the company, that wouldn't hold up either.
