As Christoph Badura and Michael van Elst - thanks to both of them! -
pointed out, the solution was the recently changed authentication scheme
of VTunD. The system on the other side is running FreeBSD, and updating
VTunD on that system using the FreeBSD ports collection did not help.
Obviously, VTunD 2.6 is not the same as VTunD 2.6 -- 2.6 from PkgSrc
incorporates the changes from OpenFortress.NL and should be some kind of
pre-3.0 whereas 2.6 from FreeBSD ports really is 2.6.

Applying the patch from the distfiles directory on the FreeBSD machine
helped and made the tunnel working again.

Thanks again to Michael van Elst and Christoph Badura!
