I did not find a command to get all the existing versions. I solved it
with uninstalling and then installing with:
pip3 install 'prompt-toolkit>=1.0.15,<2.0.0'
Is there a way to find the versions? It would be handy to install the
1.0.16 version if it comes out.

Always checking would be a lot of work: I get several times a week
several packages to update. If I would check them all I need a few
hours more a week. I am used to systems that do not update when there
is a conflict. But sadly pip does not work that way. :'-(
But I could do the 'automatic' update only when x does not change. Or
for specific packages like youtube-dl.
