Things that worked somehow (I can't quite remember all steps)
1.

  • Delete the files:

    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
    

    and

    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Bluetooth.<string>.plist
    

    where <string> is a combination of alpha-numeric characters and dashes.

  • Power down the Mac

  • Wait for one minute

  • Turn the Mac back on

  • It might be that I removed the Device in the Bluetooth settings before performing this steps (can't remember)

  • It might be that I switched the Device of during boot up of the Mac and only turned it on afterwards (can't remember)

  • In Apples Bluetooth Explorer (available with developer account):
  • Go to ToolsModify Software and Device Configuration
  • Select one (or all of the following, don't know which one worked in the end):
    • Delete link keys from the Bluetooth module
    • Delete all link keys from the local software stores (e.g Bluetooth Prefs)
    • Remove all favorite devices (pretty sure that this one did work/help solve the problem)
    • Restart the Bluetooth daemon ('bluetoothd') pro
  • Click on Perform actions
  • Restart Bluetooth in the menu bar.
