Your slapd output below shows that the BDB backend is built-in on the CentOS version. In Debian, it's a loadable module (not listed under "included static backends"). Try "olcModuleLoad: back_bdb" (under "cn=module{0},cn=config").

I read that it's because of BDB being removed and no longer supported. What should I do, then?

That's true for the OpenLDAP 2.5 series. In Debian 11, BDB is still available (but deprecated, and it's recommended to migrate to the modern LMDB backend at your earliest convenience).
