Hm, after rebuilding the packages again I was able to do the pairing
successfully.
There is an entry in nm-applet for the bluetooth mobile and under this the
available
connections are listed. Great!

But there are now two new questions:

1. As it looks to me it is not possible to use an existing nm system
connection. Is this correct?
2. To bring up a bt based connection I need to dial it twice. After
selecting the connection the first time
nm-applet seems to loop but nothing happens. But when I disconnect and
then connect again to the same connection
it comes up.

I have captured some debug output. I don't know if it's a good idea to
post these long logs here. Therefore I put
it on pastebin:
