In the Deadline Monitor, go to Tools → Configure Plugins, then find Houdini in the list and there scroll down, untill you find the “Houdini 19.0 Hython Executable” field.
These are the exe files, that Deadline searches for to start the render. Simply edit the line pointing to a Houdini 19.0.000 folder to point to your Houdini 19.0.455 folder.
Then Deadline will find the exe and start the render.

You have to do this every time you update your houdini version.
