What is passive IPsec PMTU?
Passive IPsec PTMU is a process that occurs when either side receives an ICMP error message resulting from a change in the routing path. Since routes change dynamically on the Internet, if a different router needs to fragment the packet that has the DF bit set, the router discards the packet and generates an ICMP "cannot fragment" error message. The error message is sent to the VPN peer that sent the packet. When the peer receives this error message, the peer decreases the PMTU and retransmits.
Does the security gateway know the IP address of the NATing device?

The NAT device in front of the remote client drops the packet that has no UDP header (containing port information). Again, the IKE negotiation fails.
