actually that is wrong. There will be no request for a new PIN code.
Once a link key has been created, this link key can be used to create a
new link key. However to use this key, you need a successful established
and authenticated connection. This is not the case here.

And this is a security mode 3 connection. Make sure that your own device
in not in security mode 3, because this messes things up no matter what.
My simple guess would be that the link key is no longer valid and the
remote device needs to be put into pairing mode. So you can either do
that or remove the link with RemoveBonding D-Bus method.
