This is a bit of a long-shot:
When you pair a keyboard, bluetooth asks you to input a code. Sometimes it is easy not to notice this request. Did you put a code in?
Try removing the keyboard pairing, reboot, and pair again.
Also make sure the keyboard is trusted, and sometimes you need to tick on something about scripts.
Just a thought : Is anything else using bluetooth? Are you sure it is working? Is the driver being loaded? i.e. dtparam in config.txt
p.s. Just noticed you have mentioned a usb dongle. Are you not using the builtin device?
ALSO NOTE that the commandline options OFTEN conflict with anything you do in the graphical environment. The LATTER rules usually.
