finally it was a hardware problem of this BED - BLE Dongle.
Had to made a hard reset and now the popup to pair the device comes up
on Android and iOS devices - so Qt works as expected :)
BTW: the possibility to make a hard reset of course was not mentioned in
the BLE Dongle docs.
so I can confirm now that Qt BLE is working well if BLE peripheral needs
JustWorks Pairing/Bonding
