I am running Ubuntu 18.04 and have Sony WH-1000XM2 bluetooth headphones.
Bluetooth connection is established automatically but in order to get
any sound out of the headphones I need to:

1. Manually disconnect and reconnect the headphones from bluetooth
settings

or

2. Press play/pause button on my headphones (after this a2dp_sink is
available) and go to sound settings to select headphones as output
device.

After the bluetooth connection is automatically established I see the following 
error message in system log:
  pulseaudio[3124]: [pulseaudio] module-bluez5-device.c: Profile a2dp_sink has 
no transport

The command "pacmd list-cards" displays the a2dp_sink as unavailable (full 
device output attached):

    a2dp_sink: High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink) (priority 40, available: no)

After pressing play/pause button on the headphones or manually reconnecting, 
a2dp_sink is available:
