and I cannot pair it with a set of bluetooth A2DP speakers. These same speakers work fine with my laptop, which has an internal bluetooth device 0x0a5c:0x2110. But whenever I try to pair the Belkin device using the commands

$ hcitool cc <bdaddr>
$ hcitool auth <bdaddr>

then the connection drops after only a few seconds and the pairing fails.

For those two low-level test commands the behavior you describe is perfectly normal and expected. However, they certainly aren't a proper way to initiate pairing. Where did you get the idea that this is the right way to do pairing? If it was in some BlueZ documentation we should fix it ASAP. You might want to check the bluez wiki for some ways to perform pairing (hint: search for "CreateBonding"):
http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/Bonding

Can anyone suggest anything to try in order to keep the BT connection up, please? I have already tried adding the flags HCI_RESET | HCI_WRONG_SCO_MTU without any effect.

This is not specific in any way to your adapter. You would have gotten the same behavior with any other adapter as well.
