Is the Paddle plugged into Mortty? Or is the Paddle plugged into the
Paddle input on the rear of the K3? Usually Paddles that behave like
straight keys are diagnosed as having been plugged into a straight key
input.
If the paddles are plugged into the Mortty CW keyer you should be able
to tell if they are working properly by watching Mortty's red PTT LED
and green KEY LED. Assuming that's the case - since Mortty works
elsewhere - my diagnosis is that you have Mortty plugged into the K3
Paddle input instead of the K3 Key input.

Subject: [Elecraft] Keyer goes berserk
Neither the key nor paddle work on my K3. Using N1MM+ with a paddle and
MORTTY keyer hooked up, when attempting to send a command via the keyboard,
the K3 gave gibberish. When I attempted to use the paddle, it acted as a
straight key. Rebooted everything with the same result. After testing the
computer, all cables, connectors, the paddle, and the MORTTY interface and
finding all will operate satisfactorily with a Brand X transceiver using
the same N1MM+ program, same computer and with a paddle, I hooked
everything back up to the K3. Now the K3 will not key at all, either
through the program or manually with the paddle. Any suggestions before I
send it back to Elecraft?
