FYI I just tried it and when I disabled the broker - I got the disconnected status

What does your debug log sequence show when you do this?

Do you mean that on startup you do not get an initial disconnected status message?

When you say that you have disabled the broker. Can you let me know how you simulated it?  
Im on v3.0.0 nodered.

My debug logs dont show anything.

Did you see the disconnected status on the MQTT node?

How did your broker become disconnected?

So I created a test broker using the Aedes contrib node on one machine running NR

The flow shown is running on another machine.

So, to simulate an issue - I disable/enable the flow running the test broker
