and this is correct. Read the HID profile for more details.

The Apple mouse is wrong here, because the HID device must not decide
this. In the case of HID the host stack must trigger the authentication.

With auth and encrypt set in hcid.conf or with hciconfig you enable
security mode 3 and this is not what you really want. Disable it and let
the device decide when to ask for authentication.

See above. You are in security mode 3, but what you want is security
mode 2.
