I actually tracked it down to ModemManager initially having any modem disabled (and NetworkManager just reflects this state, and can manipulate it). `mmcli -e` enabled a modem and also causes the NetworkManager to connect, which confirms this. So the right solution would be to somehow persuade ModemManager to enable modem by default.
