I got it working! But I can't reproduce what i did..
I played around with "bluetoothctl" which seems to be a interactive replacement for simple-agent. After powering my bluetooth device on and off, trusting and untrusting, pairing and unpairing for several times it now *seems* to work. It even connects automatically after turning it on :-) Bluetooth stuff is really weird.... Thanks!
