It seems "trust" is the key.  I had difficulty turning it on for
my mouse device.  In blueman-manager, there are menu items and
a separate icon button to turn on trust.  These did not complain
but didn't set the mouse as a trusted device either.

I went into bluetoothctl, found the device id, and used the
trust <dev_id> command.  It reported setting "trust succeeded".
Sure enough, when I went back into the gui blueman-manager,
it was showing the trust icon for my mouse.

Now rebooting with the mouse on, or starting the mouse after
booting, it comes right up.

Seems like blueman-manager needs a fix to get trust working.
