Which port are you using? SCIF or HSCIF?

You mean sci_set_mctrl() isn't called by the serial core after
sci_set_termios()?
However, uart_set_termios() calls both uart_change_speed() and
uart_{clear,set}_mctrl(), in that order?

Have you tried using GPIO RTS/CTS instead of hardware-assisted RTS/CTS?
Does it show the same behavior?
When adding support for hardware-assisted RTS/CTS, I used the behavior of
GPIO RTS/CTS as the expected behavior.
Thanks!
