Found it: mngtmpaddr means it is used as a template for PE addresses.
I wrongly assumed this should only be present when PE is enabled.

I created /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf with these two lines:
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr = 2
net.ipv6.conf.wlan0.use_tempaddr = 2

After reboot I verified that it is using the temporary address, for 
example when sending a mail through an external relay.
