Sounds like the magnetic field is either too small or too weak for the 98mm stirbar.

If the stirplate is homemade I would increase the distance between the magnets to see if that helps.

I had a full 5lt's in it, only water so the viscosity of wort may change things a little.
My stirrer is a brand name I don't remember, 2nd hand unit from dairy farmers I think it was.
I think you're right about the field being too weak, the 30mm bar spins like crazy.
