for some reason, it is using the PIN code for incoming connections from the hcid.conf and not the passkey-agent. Check you syslog files if the passkey agent got really registered or if it failed.

I overlooked that in the first place. Since this is an incoming security mode 3 connection you need to set "security user" in hcid.conf to make it use the passkey agent. I assumed that was default, but actually it was not. Which is fixed now.
