Default Fixing through tiles.

A fixing into a plastered brick wall through tiles.

Most of the fixings went well - wall plugs pushed through the tiles into
the brick. But one obviously hit the soft old mortar, and won't tighten.

Anything that could be squirted through the hole to give a decent fixing?
Or any other ideas? I'm already at the limit of the longest screws I can
find in that diameter.

How strong a fixing do you need? If it's a relatively light load, you
may get away with one of those grey universal plugs which you can use in
either brick or plasterboard. If it's a good fit in the tile (don't push
it right through) the tile may be able to support the load.
