It turned out to be quite simple. Just combine the PRO version and the older acf/pre_save_post like this:

1.
In the template, leave out the ‘new_post’ field:

$options = array(
	'id' => 'acf-form',
	'post_id' => new_post, //if new post
	/*Leave this field out of the array!!
	'new_post' => array(
			'post_title' => 'Test'
			),
	
	*/
	//...you other options
);

2.
In the acf/pre_save_field in functions/template, create the post here instead:

function my_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
 
      // Create a new post
      $post = array(
      	'post_status'  => 'publish' ,
   	//Use the ACF fields to create the title or any other field.
      	'post_title'  => $_POST['acf']['field_586e6ada97b7b'] . ' ' . $_POST['acf']['field_586e6ae197b7c']
      );  

      // insert the post
      $post_id = wp_insert_post( $post );
   	 // return the new ID
   	 return $post_id;
    }

add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post', 1, 1 );

As described earlier, only the ACF fields are included in the $_POST.
