I have no idea, but looking at the 15.0 release notes:

FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE Release Notes

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms.

www.freebsd.org

The usbhid(4) driver is now enabled by default, and is used in preference to other USB HID drivers like ukbd(4), ums(4), and uhid(4).

The man page: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=usbhid&sektion=4&format=html

Looks like you can turn on debugging for usbhid, or turn it off, so maybe you could try turning it off and see if that helps.

I'm guessing that maybe usbhid stops ums working like it used to for your mouse, but I'm probably wrong. Might be worth a try, anyway.

Kind-of curious if this would work, but unplug the mouse, run this, and plug it in within 3 seconds of running (used to do it for a joystick and U2F key):

su - root -c "sysctl 'hw.usb.usbhid.enable=0' && sleep '3' && sysctl 'hw.usb.usbhid.enable=1'"

My usb mouse works without any moused_* settings in rc.conf.
The moused daemon starts automatically with type 'evdev' on port '/dev/input/event6'.
Maybe your old settings are interfering? Try to comment out those settings (except maybe moused_flags) and restart the moused service.
