ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
the touchpad settings are shown correctly when openend directly via the terminal:
$ kcmshell6 kcm_touchpad

the touchpad works flawlessly.

jfyi: the mouse settings are displayed. the touchpad is recognized as a mouse there, though there is no mouse attached. of course only the more generic mouse settings (as opposed to the more detailed touchpad settings) are available under the mouse section. i guess treating the touchpad additionally as a mouse when there is in fact no mouse attached is intended behavior for fallback reasons?

I can confirm. Additionally, the feature is missing where one can disable the touchpad when a mouse is plugged in
