Cannot replica a nls result

Hello, I am getting two completely different result when using nls (where I get the correct answer) and brms (where I cannot). The data is this

19 1.201854 6.257015 1.290664 6.305973

this is running nls:

> nls(aux ~ (k * pin1 * aux1) / (k*pin + 0.0045), data = r3,start = list(k=1))

Nonlinear regression model
  model: aux ~ (k * pin1 * aux1)/(k * pin + 0.0045)
   data: data.frame(r3)
      k 
0.06409 
 residual sum-of-squares: 0.06201

Number of iterations to convergence: 7 
Achieved convergence tolerance: 7.261e-08

the value of k is the expected one.

While with brms:

prior1 <- prior(normal(0, 1), nlpar = "k", lb=0)
fit1 <- brm(bf(aux ~ (k * pin1 * aux1) / (k*pin + 0.0045), k~ 1, nl = TRUE), data = r3, prior = prior1)
> fit1
    Population-Level Effects: 
                Estimate Est.Error l-95% CI u-95% CI Eff.Sample Rhat
    k_Intercept     0.75      0.59     0.05     2.20       2138 1.00

    Family Specific Parameters: 
          Estimate Est.Error l-95% CI u-95% CI Eff.Sample Rhat
    sigma     0.06      0.01     0.05     0.09       1655 1.00

any ideas?

On what basis do you call the nls result “expected”? By quickly running the model it seems as if k is barely identified by the data, let alone precisely located at about 0.06.

Also, the posterior distribution of k is skewed so that the mode may very well be around 0.06 while the mean is much higher. See plot(fit1)

thanks, I suppose the model is simply badly specified
