(I suggested to run `pdnsutil set-presigned`, because it has shown me
helpful errors when I forgot to correctly configure the backend and also I
am not sure if it autodetects DNSSEC on zones that were not secured before.)

cannot transfer a zone presigned in that mode by design, because it
requires active interaction with the secret key to provide hashed denial of
existence, as per [3]. Ask your operator of the primary site to use
inclusive NSEC3 mode instead.
