OK, there are some misconceptions here.
You don't need any public IP6 on the external interface - any IP from 
your delegation will work fine.

What you do need is a default route.

Depending on your ISP this will either come through PPP or by IPv6RA.

The former I can't help with, but the latter I can.
Luckily, dhcpcd has exceedingly good IPv6 support :)
Just so we can get you working, try disabling slaacd, stopping it, 
comment out the noipv6rs line in dhcpcd.conf and restart dhcpcd.

Then post a new log if you still have problems.
If you do have problems, please use the patch here:

Or my latest git master branch.

Good luck!
