Devices stopped updating after replacing bluetooth dongle

I replaced Avantree DG45 bluetooth dongle with ZEXMTE Bluetooth Adapter for PC 5.1 in hopes of better range as it has external antenna and also is 5.1 rather than 5.0.

HA (running as HAOS on Proxmox on a beefy MiniPC) recognized it and configured without an issue. All the bluetooth devices (mostly Govee humidity and temperature sensors) however stopped updating and eventually turned unavailable. I can’t find anything in documentation or forums about this - what is the next step to make things work again after replacing BT dongle?

Restarting HA or even reboothing entire machine didn’t help.
