Cannot connect with huawei E1692 for an error 'QMI protocol error (17): 'MissingArgument'' '

I was able to connect using this usb stick until some weeks ago. Then I did not use it for some time. If I try to connect with the command

mmcli --simple-connect="pin=0000,apn=tim" -m 0

I get this error

error: couldn't connect the modem: 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.libqmi.Error.Protocol.MissingArgument: Couldn't register for power indications: QMI protocol error (17): 'MissingArgument''

mmcli -L gives:

/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/0 [QUALCOMM INCORPORATED] 29

This is my system: Manjaro Linux stable on amd64

mmcli 1.20.2
