dnssec-keyfromlabel not working with Debian 12 (bookworm)

Hi,

I used this tutorial as reference to setup DNSSEC with SoftHSM2:
https://kb.isc.org/docs/bind-9-pkcs11

I installed the Debian package instead of building libp11:
libengine-pkcs11-openssl:amd64        0.4.12-0.1

It works until reaching this command:
$ dnssec-keyfromlabel \
-E pkcs11 \
-a RSASHA256 \
-l "token=bind9object=example.net-ksk" \
-f KSK example.net
dnssec-keyfromlabel: fatal: could not initialize dst: crypto failure

Trying directly from OpenSSL works:
$ openssl pkey \
-in "pkcs11:token=bind9;object=example.net-ksk" \
-inform ENGINE \
-engine pkcs11 \
-text \
-pubin
Engine "pkcs11" set.

Debian 12 (bookworm) use OpenSSL version 3:
libssl3:amd64                         3.0.11-1~deb12u2
openssl                               3.0.11-1~deb12u2

Installed BIND9 packages:

It seems to be an API problem or maybe I missed something ?
