Thanks to Kaiser and Roger on this group, I have located a replacement
'Metal Bracket - Rise and Fall', to replace a missing one of these:

www.harbury.me.uk/gutter.htm

Since the new bracket will be driven into a hole in the mortar that the old
bracket fell out of, does anyone have any suggestions for what adhesive I
can use to fix the bracket into the mortar?

I quite like polyester resin (see screwfix.co.uk) for things like this.
It sets rosk-hard in a very few minutes.
It's best to have a few things you want to fix/fill as you will use up
a mixing nozzle each time you use one of these tubes.

You can get bigger plugs instead of whatever came out with the
original. If that fails make the hole big enough to take a wooden
wedge, put the screw in place (after checking the bracket for the
correct place that is.)

Then put filler over the yawning gap.
I take it that you have tried a brown plug and a #12 screw?

But the bracket doesn't *screw* to the wall (see the picture in the URL he
quoted) - it has a spike which goes straight into the mortar joint.

Oof, I thought it was a shelf bracket.

Plugging chisel and some sort of mastic.

Epoxy mortar

An Inferior (but more pleasant looking) form of KarBoddiFilla.
