I followed Daniel's instructions and made some progress but not 100% there yet.

-------[Global section]----------
          
user_agent_header=""
    
-------[Main Routing Logic]-------

# handle registrations
        if (is_method("REGISTER"))
        { 
        $avp(new_user_agent) = $ua;
        }
        route(REGISTRAR);
.
.

# Forward REGISTER to Freeswitch
route[REGFWD] {

        if(!is_method("REGISTER"))
        {
                return;
        }
        route(DISPATCH);
        $uac_req(method)="REGISTER";
        $uac_req(ruri)=$du;
        $uac_req(furi)=$fn + "<sip:" + $au + "@" + $ar + ">";
        $uac_req(turi)=$tn + "<sip:" + $au + "@" + $ar + ">";
        $uac_req(hdrs)="Contact: <sip:" + $au + "@"
                                + $ar
                                + ";fs_path=sip:"
                                + $sel(cfg_get.kamailio.bindip)
                                + ":" + $sel(cfg_get.kamailio.bindport)
                                + ">"
                                + "\r\n";
        if($sel(contact.expires) != $null)
                $uac_req(hdrs)= $uac_req(hdrs) + "Expires: " + $sel(contact.expires) + "\r\n";
        else
                $uac_req(hdrs)= $uac_req(hdrs) + "Expires: " + $hdr(Expires) + "\r\n";
        $uac_req(hdrs)= $uac_req(hdrs) + "User-Agent: " + $avp(new_user_agent) + "\r\n";
        uac_req_send();
        exit;
}
#!endif

------------

Now the correct User-Agent appears in the REGISTER message but in Freeswitch it shows as unknown.

U 184.xx.xx.208:5060 -> 184.xx.xx.198:6060
REGISTER sip:184.x.x.198:6060 SIP/2.0.

Got some extra dots in there but not sure why they are there and how they got there.
Any ideas? Anything I missed?

Perhaps you can get it with adding User-Agent header to $uac_req(hdrs):

$uac_req(hdrs)= $uac_req(hdrs) + "User-Agent: " + $ua + "\r\n";

And sent the global parameter:

user_agent_header=""

But then no local generated request has user agent, which probably is ok for you.

There are still ways to use event_route[tm:local-request] to set a custom user agent header, but would require something like:
- add $us in $uac_req(hdrs) as X-UA header
- in event_route[tm:local-request], remove User-Agent and X-UA headers and add again User-Agent taking the value from X-UA
