FortiGate VXLAN with virtual wire pair only works one way?

I have been trying to establish a VXLAN link to evaluate connecting two buildings with the same L2 VLANs over the internet.

 

The physical setup:

Site 1

 Laptop 1 to untagged VLAN8 port on HPE Aruba 2530
 Port on HPE Aruba 2530 with VLAN5 and VLAN8 tagged (nothing untagged) to "port15" on primary of Fortigate 200F (7.2.4) HA cluster


Site 2

Laptop 2 to untagged VLAN8 port on HPE Aruba 2530
Port on HPE Aruba 2530 with VLAN5 and VLAN8 tagged (nothing untagged) to "internal5" on Fortigate 60F (7.2.5)

 

Site 1 and 2 connected via Internet.


The problem I'm having is that only some of the traffic seems to get through the tunnel.
On site2, running a sniffer on 60F internal5 with no filter, I see a lot of UDP broadcast and ARP originating from
Site 1 as well as DHCP discovery from Laptop2. The laptop gets no DHCP offer but running wireshark I can see the same UDP broadcasts from site 1. Using a fixed IP and pinging resources on site1 also fails.
Running diagnose sys vxlan fdb list <vxlan> i get a list of mac addresses from site 1, on both VLANs, with remote_ip set to site1 of the tunnel.

Doing the same on Site 1 returns only a 00:00:00:00:00:00 mac pointing to site2 tunnel ip.
There I can't detect the traffic from site2. It seems that the tunnel only works one way? Are there any additional requirements on the switches besides handeling VLAN tagging?

I have been following "VLAN over IPsec tunnel with virtual wire pair" from the FortiOS 7.2.4 admin guide
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.2.4/administration-guide/821119/vxlan-over-ipsec-tunn...

Any help I can get is much appreciated!
