For devices in security mode 2, the service (profile) decides when to requests authentication (pairing). If you have an OBEX push profile running which normally doesn't needs authentication, then what is the difference compared to security mode 1? Forget about the crappy security modes, because they are useless. The only important thing is mode 1. It says that both sides must support it and that you must authenticate before you can start encryption.
