Ramban on Shemos 12:32 "vayofu es habatzeiq" quotes the Mekhilta that
says it was matzos mitzvah that they were too rushed to make chameitz
anyway. They made the dough for the mitzvah, but not all the dough was
baked before they were being chased out. They couldn't leave the dough
to become chameitz, so...

But in any case, the assupmtoin was that the original qorban pesach was
also to be eaten al matzos umerorerim, or at least, al matzos. Which makes
sense, since HQBH calls the future qorban Pesach "haavodah hazos" (v 25),
which would *seem to imply* (not saying it's muchrach) the same dinim.
OTOH, the doorway thing would then have to be a distinct avodah
anyway...
