So in my case, after trying all the unpairing repairing, shutting down Teams and re-open etc..., finally I ended up making it work this way:

- Open Control Panel

- Open Devices and Printer

- Double click the headset to open the <Bluetooth headset> properties

- Go to tab Services

- Uncheck everything except Handsfree Telephony (in my case: Audio Sink, Remote Control, Remotely Controllable Device)

- Apply and close.

Works perfectly now. Looks like Teams "was thinking too hard" about this, and paring it down to the basic functionality gave it no choice.
