SRX5308 IPv6 routing

While I know that I should consider this piece of equipment being my new paper weight, I just want answer to following question:
How to make it pass IPv6 to next router? Right now I have proper configuration of WAN (I can ping IPv6 hosts outside, get DNS resolutions) and I can get DNS resolutions from its DNS-proxy (so LAN is communicating over IPng) but no single packet is forwarded to WAN via IPv6.
Current configuration (leading bytes set to aaaa:bbbb)
WAN (static):
address: aaaa:bbbb:14::16
gateway: aaaa:bbbb:14::1
prefix: 48 (tried 64 also)

LAN:
address: aaaa:bbbb:14:1::1
prefix: 64
DHCP + RADVD enabled.

Router is in IPv4 NAT mode, as it doesnt override IPv6 strict routing. No manual routes are present. Any ideas, what is wrong?

Do you think it would be possible to configure IPv6 without dual stack enabled? However say it is fixed - after full wipe. Not a first time this procedure helped.

Hi MWisniewski,

Have you tried setting up the firewall to IPv4/IPv6 Mode?

    MWisniewski,
    
    I don't think it would work as it is will be only focus on the IPv4 routing.
