Thanks to your pointer, analysis done by KlaraSystems shows that
the problem seems to be like this:

frr has this open socket where it listens on incoming tcp/179:

tcp4       0      0 *.179                  *.*                    LISTEN     
tcp6       0      0 *.179                  *.*                    LISTEN     

The problem starts sometime after FreeBSD 12.1p8, when some of the bgp
peers have tcp-md5 set and others have not.

If any bgp peer has tcp-md5, it seems, some (all?) non-tcp-md5 secured
bgp peers will fail to connect, until a tcp-md5 secret is configured.

Therefore, we can use this workaround for now and investigate frr
and/or FreeBSD for a proper fix without too much hurry.
