Try putting the T code well before the m6 T prepares the tool changer to change for a specific tool M6 changes it.
machines with large tool chains use this to preselect the next tool. This loads tool 1 and immediately preselects tool2 T1 M6 T2 Most configs short cut the pins as you mentioned and don't preselect.

So I wrote a gcode-file, that has a T-word after the M6 ... ... but the prepare-pin did not light. Inspecting hal from axis I can see, that prepare-pins are connected. I wonder, what is the role of these pins and when will they get active?
