Please refer to the information in the document “When should a permanent residence permit be reissued?” (see section “Further information”).
c) Your eAT does not contain any passport details, but the eAT card has expired.

If you wish to travel abroad before your permanent residence title has been reissued:

Regarding a) and b) If you wish to travel abroad in the meantime, please take your old passport, your permanent residence title, and your new passport with you. This will allow you to re-enter Germany.

Regarding c) Re-entry into Germany is possible even if the eAT card has expired.
