Note that I get CTRL-EVENT-BEACON-LOSS quite often. In general,
NetworkManager can reconnect, but not always. I could reproduce
the issue:

I've tried, following https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager/iwd
but I get

Error: Connection activation failed: (7) Secrets were required, but not provided.

when I want to connect with nmcli.

In any case, NM with iwd would have a similar issue as said on the wiki:
