I think you might be out of luck there with the extensive use of

admit I find augers used in power drills very easy to overdrill
the depth owing to the screw guide feeding the drill in rather
than the pressure applied by the user. If you have a number of
brace bits that you want to use then cutting off the taper end
off them might be your only solution.

That's what I did before. Would be nicer to keep these as is. Maybe
I could contemplate moulding something in plastic, probably be
strong enough for small bits.

It's easy to find adapters the other way round, but not to enable an
old bit to be used in a modern hex drill.

cut one of these up

they don't work. Ones that do, I'd not reasonably expect that type of chuck to be able to do the job.
